About this award

You can receive a $1,500 bursary. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep — there is nothing to repay. There are 6 bursaries of $1,500 available for 6 students. This is for you if you are a technical student in your second year or later who balances your academic work with community involvement. You must apply between September 1 and October 15. When you apply, ask Manitoba Hydro how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, phone, or a portal. Winners are chosen based on your academic performance, your home community, your financial need, and your community involvement. Selection criteria aren't published in detail — ask Manitoba Hydro how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Manitoba Hydro 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 Manitoba Hydro whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Tips for applying

• Community InvolvementAvoid just listing the organizations where you volunteered. Instead, describe one specific way your involvement helped your community. Mention a project where you took the lead.
• Financial NeedAvoid giving a vague statement about needing money. Instead, provide a clear breakdown of your current gaps in tuition or living costs. List your specific monthly expenses.
• StrategyAvoid submitting your application on the final day. Instead, aim to finish by October 10 to ensure any technical issues with the submission don't stop you from applying. Set a calendar reminder for September 1.
