What you will need

• ✓ Completed General Application via Nipissing University's awards portal

About this award

You get 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 North Bay and the surrounding area who has shown strong academic skill and leadership. 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. 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 must be a female student from North Bay and Area. You must be continuing full time studies in a program within the Schulich School of Education at Nipissing University. You must demonstrate academic proficiency and excellent leadership skills. A preference is given to a student who also demonstrates a strong work ethic and excellent teaching practices with children.

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. Mention a project where you led other students or children.
• SupportAvoid providing references who only know you casually. Instead, ask a professor or a supervisor from a teaching placement who can vouch for your work ethic. Ensure they can speak to your skills with children.
• 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 a specific school, competition may be tight among local students.
