About this award

You get $525.00. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are pursuing a business degree and need extra financial support to help cover your education costs. 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 must be enrolled in the Bachelor of Business Administration program at Nipissing University. You need a minimum average of 70% and must show demonstrated financial need. Additionally, you must be a resident of Ontario as defined by OSAP (the Ontario Student Assistance Program — the provincial office that manages student grants and loans).
