About this award

You can receive $425.00. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep — there is nothing to repay. This is for you if you are a full-time student at Nipissing University who is also facing financial challenges while pursuing your studies. You must apply by November 1, 2026. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — whether it is through email, the portal, or a phone call. 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

To qualify, you must be a full-time student at Nipissing University. You must also 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.

• 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 this funding is needed.
• SupportAvoid omitting any potential sources of income. Instead, be transparent about all your financial aid. This ensures your application is honest and accurate.
• StrategyAvoid leaving your General Application incomplete. Instead, fill out every section of the Nipissing University awards portal thoroughly. Since consideration is automatic, a complete profile is your only way to be seen.
• RealismAvoid assuming this award will cover all your costs. Instead, treat this $425.00 as a helpful supplement. Continue looking for larger bursaries to bridge any significant funding gaps.
