About this award

You can receive $975.00. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a nursing student who has balanced academic success with strong leadership roles while managing financial challenges. You must apply by November 1, 2026. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — email, portal, or phone. The faculty in the department of nursing makes the final selection. 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 third or fourth year student in the Bachelor of Science Nursing program. You must demonstrate academic excellence, strong leadership, and financial need. Additionally, you must be a resident of Ontario as defined by OSAP (the Ontario Student Assistance Program — the provincial office that manages student loans and grants).

Tips for applying

• LeadershipAvoid just listing the titles of the clubs you joined. Instead, describe one specific time your leadership helped a team or patient. Give a concrete example of a problem you solved.
• StrategyAvoid leaving your General Application incomplete. Since you are automatically considered based on that form, double-check that your financial need and residency details are fully updated in the portal.
• RealismAvoid assuming that high grades alone guarantee the award. Because this scholarship requires both academic excellence and proven leadership, make sure your application highlights your impact outside the classroom.
