Tips for applying

• Community InvolvementAvoid just listing the organizations where you volunteered. Instead, describe the specific impact your actions had on others. Write about one specific project where your leadership made a difference.
• ReferencesAvoid providing a generic character reference. Instead, ask a supervisor who witnessed your community work to write a letter that verifies your specific contributions. Ensure the letter is signed and dated.
• StrategyAvoid forgetting to specify the award name on your form. Instead, clearly write "RRC Polytech Students' Association Community Involvement Recognition Award" in the designated space. Double-check the spelling before you submit.
• RealismAvoid assuming the award is guaranteed based on your hours of service. Instead, remember that only one award of $1,000 is given annually. Focus your application on the quality and depth of your involvement rather than just the number of hours.
