About this award

You can receive one of two 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 an international student in your second year of study who has dedicated your time to volunteering both within the RRC Polytech (Red River College Polytechnic) community and in the wider public. You must apply by September 15. When you apply, ask RRC Polytech (Red River College Polytechnic) how and when you will hear back — whether by email, phone, or through the application portal. 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. To keep this funding, you must maintain satisfactory academic progress. 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.

You must also maintain satisfactory academic progress and demonstrate financial need along with a record of volunteer dedication to the RRC Polytech (Red River College Polytechnic) community or other community involvement outside of college life.
