About this award

You can receive a $300.00 bursary. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep — there is nothing to repay. This is for you if you are facing financial challenges while pursuing your education. You must apply by November 1, 2026. When you apply, ask Nipissing University how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, the portal, or phone. Selection is based on financial need, and you are automatically considered once you complete the General Application. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Nipissing University how many applicants they typically receive 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.

Tips for applying

• Financial NeedAvoid giving vague descriptions of your situation. Instead, provide clear details about your specific expenses and income gaps. List your monthly costs to show why you need this support.
• StrategyAvoid leaving the General Application incomplete. Instead, fill out every optional field that allows you to describe your financial circumstances. Since this is an automatic consideration, the more detail you provide, the better.
• RealismAvoid relying on this $300 as your primary source of funding. Instead, view it as a helpful top-up to your other grants and loans. Apply for multiple smaller bursaries to build a larger support package.
