Who can apply

Upgrading students at Red Deer Polytechnic, with preference for veterans and single parents

Worth knowing

Red Deer Polytechnic runs one General Application that closes May 31 and puts you in the running for every award you qualify for, so this is one box on a form rather than a separate submission. The two preference groups are unusual to see named together, and neither is a hard requirement, so an upgrading student outside both can still apply.

About this scholarship

Two bursaries of $1,000 for students entering the first year of Academic Upgrading at Red Deer Polytechnic full time, with preference for those serving or honourably discharged from the Canadian Forces, or single parents.

Email me before it closes

We send one link to confirm, then a reminder 30, 14 and 3 days before the deadline.
We store your address only to send these reminders, and delete it the moment you unsubscribe. How this works.
