About this award

You can receive $650.00. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a former Nipissing University graduate returning for a teaching degree and have a strong academic record. 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 by phone. Winners are chosen based on who has the highest admittance average among eligible students. Selection criteria aren't published in detail—ask Nipissing University how many people typically 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 graduate of Nipissing University and be enrolled in the full-time Bachelor of Education program, specifically in the Junior/Intermediate or Intermediate/Senior Division. You must have Math or Science as a teachable subject. Additionally, you must demonstrate financial need and be a resident of Ontario as defined by OSAP (the Ontario Student Assistance Program—the provincial office that manages student loans and grants). The award goes to the student with the highest admittance average.

Tips for applying

• StrategyAvoid waiting until the last minute to fill out the general form. Instead, complete your General Application early since this award is granted automatically based on that data. Double-check that your teachable subjects are clearly marked.
• RealismAvoid assuming you will win just by meeting the basic bars. Instead, remember that this is awarded to the single student with the highest average. Apply for several other bursaries at the same time to diversify your funding.
