About this award

You can receive a $750 award. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are pursuing a career in specialized trades or technical systems, such as aircraft turbines, automotive tech, or electrical work. 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, the portal, or phone. 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 student enrolled in one of the following programs: Aircraft Turbine Technology, Automotive Technology, Carpentry, Computer Information Systems (SWC cohort only), Construction Electrical, Electromechanical Technology, HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning), Industrial Electrical, Precision Machinist, or Wind Turbine Technology.
