About this award

You will receive $425.00. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a female graduate student at Nipissing University focusing your studies on history. 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. 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 at Nipissing University studying history at the graduate level. A preference is given to a student who completed her undergraduate degree at Nipissing University.

Tips for applying

• History FocusAvoid writing a general statement about your love for all subjects. Instead, focus your personal details on your passion for history. Mention specific historical eras or themes you are researching in your graduate work.
• SupportAvoid submitting a generic reference. Instead, ask a professor in the history department who knows your work well to provide a supportive note. Ensure they highlight your academic strengths in your specific field.
• StrategyAvoid waiting until the last minute to fill out your profile. Instead, complete your General Application in the awards portal early. Since you are automatically considered based on that application, ensure every section is detailed and current.
• RealismAvoid assuming this award is guaranteed because of your previous degree. While having an undergraduate degree from Nipissing University is a preference, it is not a requirement, so you will still be competing with other qualified graduate students.
