About this award
You get $800. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a senior sociology student who needs extra financial support to finish your degree. You must apply by November 1, 2026. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — email, 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 fourth year student enrolled in the Honours Sociology program 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).
This is what the award's official page said when we last checked. Rules change, so confirm on the award's official page before you apply.
- Open to undergraduate students
- Resident of Ontario
- Studying Honours Sociology

Tips for applying
- StrategyAvoid leaving your General Application incomplete. Instead, fill out every optional field in the Nipissing University awards portal. Since you are automatically considered based on that form, more detail helps you stand out.
- RealismAvoid assuming this award is guaranteed just because you are in your fourth year. Instead, treat this as a competitive supplement to your main funding. Apply for multiple bursaries to increase your chances.
