About this award

You get $600.00. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a full-time student at Nipissing University who needs extra financial support to manage your education costs. You must apply by November 1, 2026. When you apply, ask how and when you'll 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 full-time student at Nipissing University. You also must be a resident of Ontario as defined by OSAP (the Ontario Student Assistance Program — the provincial office that manages student loans and grants). This award is presented annually on the basis of financial need.

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 the $600.
• SupportAvoid leaving your General Application incomplete. Instead, ensure every section of the Nipissing University portal is finished. Double-check that your OSAP (Ontario Student Assistance Program) status is updated.
• StrategyAvoid waiting until the last minute to submit. Instead, complete your General Application early since this award is automated. This ensures you don't miss the November 1 deadline due to technical glitches.
• RealismAvoid assuming this award will cover all your gaps. Instead, treat this $600 as a supplement to other funding. Apply for multiple bursaries at Nipissing University to build a full financial plan.
