About this award

You get $500.00. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a student leader who balances your business studies with a strong commitment to volunteering and helping your campus community. You must apply by November 1, 2026. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — email, portal, or phone. You are automatically considered for this award based on your completed General Application. 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 full-time Nipissing University student pursuing a business degree or diploma. You need a minimum of 75% average and a Record of Student Development with the Office of Student Development Services. You must also demonstrate a commitment to volunteerism and on-campus community involvement.

Tips for applying

• VolunteerismAvoid just listing the organizations where you volunteered. Instead, describe the specific impact your on-campus community involvement had on others. Mention one specific project you led or supported.
• StrategyAvoid leaving your General Application incomplete. Instead, fill out every section of the Nipissing University awards portal thoroughly. Since this is an automatic consideration award, your profile is your only way to stand out.
• RealismAvoid assuming the 75% average is the only factor. Instead, remember that the requirement for a Record of Student Development makes this a targeted award for active students. Focus your energy on documenting your campus leadership.
