About this award
You get $500.00. 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 a self-identifying Indigenous student who lives on campus and needs extra help covering your housing costs. 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
To qualify, you must be a full-time student at Nipissing University who self-identifies as Indigenous. You must also reside in any of the Nipissing residence buildings and demonstrate financial need.

Tips for applying
- Financial NeedAvoid giving vague descriptions of your situation. Instead, provide clear details about your specific housing costs and income gaps. List your monthly residence fees alongside your available budget.
- SupportAvoid omitting details about your identity. Instead, ensure your self-identification as Indigenous is clear and consistent across your entire application profile.
- StrategyAvoid waiting until the last minute to fill out the general form. Instead, complete your General Application early since this award considers you automatically based on that submission.
- RealismAvoid assuming this will cover all your housing costs. Instead, view this $500.00 as a helpful supplement to other grants or loans you may have.
