About this award

You can receive a $500.00 award. This is a scholarship, 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 academic proficiency and strong leadership skills. You must apply by November 1, 2026. When you apply, ask Nipissing University how and when you will hear back — whether it is by email, the 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 who demonstrates academic proficiency and excellent leadership skills. You must be continuing full time studies in a program within the Faculty of Education and Professional Studies at Nipissing University, but you cannot be in a program in the Schulich School of Education. A 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 a generic character reference. Instead, ask a teacher or supervisor to highlight your compassion and perseverance. Provide a letter that gives a real-life example of your work ethic.
• StrategyAvoid leaving your General Application incomplete. Since you are automatically considered based on that form, ensure every section is filled out thoroughly before the November 1 deadline.
• RealismAvoid assuming this is a guaranteed award. Because it targets a specific geographic area and faculty, check with Nipissing University to see how many of these $500 awards are given out each year.
