About this award

You get $500. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are an international student at Nipissing University who balances your business studies with a strong commitment to volunteering and helping your campus community. You must apply by November 1, 2026. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — email, portal, or phone. You are automatically considered for this award based on your completed General Application. Ask Nipissing University how many students usually apply, so you can judge your odds. Ask Nipissing University 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 Nipissing University whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

You need a minimum of 75% average and a Record of Student Development with the Office of Student Development Services.

Tips for applying

• VolunteerismAvoid just listing the organizations where you volunteered. Instead, describe the specific impact your work had on the campus community. Mention one project where your effort helped other students.
• StrategyAvoid leaving your General Application incomplete. Instead, fill out every optional section of the Nipissing University awards portal. Since consideration is automatic, the more detail you provide, the easier it is for the committee to see your community involvement.
• RealismAvoid assuming this award is guaranteed because it is automatic. Instead, remember that you are competing with other high-achieving international business students. Keep looking for other bursaries to diversify your funding.
