About this award

You can receive $2,000.00. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep — there is nothing to repay. This is for you if you are a second-year student dedicated to a career in public safety and community justice. You must apply by November 3, 2026. When you apply, ask Sheridan College how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, phone, or through the awards portal. Ask Sheridan College how many students usually apply, so you can judge your odds. Ask Sheridan College 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 Sheridan College whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

Tips for applying

• Financial NeedAvoid giving a vague statement about needing money. Instead, explain exactly how this $2,000 will reduce your stress or cover a specific cost like textbooks or transit. Provide a clear example of your current budget gap.
• SupportAvoid submitting documents that are blurry or outdated. Instead, provide a clear, current copy of your driver's license or a utility bill in your name to prove you live in Brampton. Double-check that the address matches your application.
• StrategyAvoid writing a generic response to the supplemental questions. Instead, focus on the specific impact this money has on your ability to finish your second year of study. Connect the funding to your goal of working in public safety.
• RealismAvoid assuming this is a guaranteed award since only one (1) bursary is available. Instead, continue applying for other Sheridan College awards to diversify your funding sources. Treat this as a high-value bonus rather than your primary budget plan.
