About this award

You can receive one of five bursaries valued at $1,000 each. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a full-time student at RRC Polytech (Red River College Polytechnic) who is facing financial challenges while pursuing your education. You must apply by October 15. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, the student portal, or phone. Recipients are selected based on their demonstrated financial need. Selection criteria aren't published — ask RRC Polytech (Red River College Polytechnic) how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask RRC Polytech (Red River College Polytechnic) during your application how the money will reach you — some awards pay students directly, others apply funds to tuition. Confirm this so you can plan your cash flow. Renewal conditions aren't listed — if you're counting on this for multiple years, confirm with RRC Polytech (Red River College Polytechnic) whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Tips for applying

• Financial NeedAvoid writing a vague letter about needing money. Instead, provide a detailed breakdown of your monthly expenses and income gaps. List your specific costs for rent, food, and books to show exactly why you need the $1,000.
• SupportAvoid submitting a letter without checking for errors. Instead, ask a teacher or a peer at RRC Polytech (Red River College Polytechnic) to proofread your financial statement for clarity.
• StrategyAvoid forgetting to name the award on your form. Instead, clearly write "RRC Polytech Students' Association Bursary" on your application so it goes to the right committee.
• RealismAvoid assuming the award is guaranteed just because you have a high need. Instead, remember that only five bursaries are available annually, so apply as early as possible before the October 15 deadline.
