About this award

You can receive one bursary valued at $750. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you have successfully finished the Youth Recreation Activity Worker program and are moving forward in your career by continuing your studies in the Child and Youth Care diploma program at RRC Polytech (Red River College Polytechnic). You must apply by October 15th. When you apply, ask RRC Polytech (Red River College Polytechnic) how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, phone, or through the application portal. Selection is based on your academic achievement and your financial need.

The money is applied directly to your program fees for the Child and Youth Care program. However, if a sponsoring agency is already covering your fees, you can still receive the bursary to help with other related costs. Confirm with RRC Polytech (Red River College Polytechnic) how the funds will be transferred to you.
