About this award

You will receive $750.00. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a full-time student majoring in Sociology at Nipissing University who shows leadership and passion for the subject both in and out of the classroom. You must apply by November 1, 2026. When you apply, ask Nipissing University 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

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

Tips for applying

• LeadershipAvoid just listing your titles in a club. Instead, describe a specific time your enthusiasm for sociology helped others learn or grow. Mention a project or discussion that happened outside the classroom.
• StrategyAvoid leaving your General Application incomplete. Since you are automatically considered based on that form, ensure every section regarding your financial need and residency is fully updated.
• RealismAvoid assuming this is a guaranteed award. Because it is based on a general application pool, focus on making your personal profile stand out with concrete examples of your leadership.
