About this award

You can receive a share of $1,100.00. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. The total amount is split equally between two students, meaning each recipient gets $550. This is for you if you are pursuing your teaching credentials in the Bachelor of Education program at Nipissing University and have a strong academic record. 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. Winners are chosen based on academic excellence. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Nipissing University how they measure excellence and roughly 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.

Who qualifies

You must be enrolled in the Nipissing University Bachelor of Education program. The award is split equally between one first year student and one second year student. Selection is based on academic excellence, and a preference will be given to students from the Algoma Region.

• SupportAvoid submitting a generic application. Instead, ensure your General Application is fully completed and updated. Double-check that your profile reflects your current year of study.
• StrategyAvoid waiting until the last minute to check your portal. Instead, log in to the Nipissing University awards portal early to ensure your General Application is processed correctly. Since consideration is automatic, your profile accuracy is your main tool.
