About this award

You can receive $775.00. 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 facing financial challenges while pursuing your education. 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. Selection is based on financial need, and you are automatically considered once you finish your General Application. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Nipissing University how many applicants they typically receive 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.

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 exactly why you need the funds.
• StrategyAvoid treating the General Application as a formality. Instead, treat it as your primary tool for winning this award. Spend extra time on the sections where you describe your personal circumstances.
• RealismAvoid assuming that a completed application guarantees funding. Instead, remember that bursaries are distributed based on available funds and the level of need among all applicants. Apply for multiple awards to increase your chances.
