About this award

You can receive a $500.00 scholarship. This is a grant, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a female student from the North Bay and Area who shows strong leadership and academic skill. You must apply by November 1, 2026. When you apply, ask Nipissing University how and when you'll hear back — whether by email, portal, or phone. 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 must be a female student from the North Bay and Area. You must be continuing full time studies in a program within the Faculty of Arts and Science at Nipissing University. You should demonstrate academic proficiency and excellent leadership skills. Preference is given to a student who also demonstrates a strong work ethic, compassion, and perseverance.

Tips for applying

• LeadershipAvoid just listing the titles of the clubs you joined. Instead, describe a specific time your leadership helped a group reach a goal. Write about one project where you took charge.
• SupportAvoid using vague references who only know you as a student. Instead, ask a mentor or teacher who has seen your compassion and perseverance in action to vouch for you.
• StrategyAvoid leaving your General Application incomplete. Since you are automatically considered based on that form, ensure every section is filled out thoroughly before the deadline.
• RealismAvoid assuming this is a guaranteed award. Because it targets a specific geographic area and faculty, focus your energy on highlighting your ties to North Bay and your passion for Arts and Science.
