About this award

You can receive a $500 award to help with your studies. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a promising musician who wants to reduce the financial strain of your post-secondary education. You must apply by November 1, 2026. When you apply, ask Holland College how and when you will hear back — whether it is by email, phone, or through the portal. Holland College lists this award's criteria on its official page (see Who qualifies). Ask Holland College how winners are picked among the students who meet them and how many usually apply, so you can judge your odds. Ask Holland 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 Holland College whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

You must be a resident of PEI (Prince Edward Island) and be pursuing post-secondary education in Music Performance. You must also demonstrate financial need.

Tips for applying

StrategyAvoid treating the general application as a formality. Instead, ensure every section of your Holland College general application is fully completed, as this award uses that data to consider you automatically. Double-check that your program of study is correctly listed as Music Performance.
RealismAvoid assuming this award is guaranteed because it is a memorial fund. Instead, remember that financial-need awards are often highly competitive. Apply for several different bursaries at Holland College to increase your chances of getting funding.
