About this award

You get $1,950.00. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you entered university as a mature student and are now moving into your second year of study in the Faculty of Applied & Professional Studies. 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. 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. To be considered for a subsequent scholarship, you must maintain at least an overall 80% average during your second year at Nipissing University.

Who qualifies

You must be a full-time student in the Faculty of Applied & Professional Studies at Nipissing University, enrolled in your second year. You need a minimum first year average of 80% based on at least 18 credits. Additionally, you must have been admissible as a mature student at the time you were admitted to the university. A preference is given to students who are the child or spouse of a corporate employee or dealer (Northern district) of Mac’s Convenience Inc. or Northmar Distributors. A preference is also given to students enrolled in these specific degree programs: Bachelor of Business Administration (Technology Management), Bachelor of Business Administration, Computer Science, or Bachelor of Arts (Economics).

Tips for applying

• Employment TiesAvoid omitting your family connections. Instead, clearly state if you are the spouse or child of a Mac’s Convenience Inc. or Northmar Distributors employee or Northern district dealer. Mention this explicitly in your profile to benefit from the preference clause.
• StrategyAvoid waiting for a separate application form. Instead, focus on completing the General Application in the Nipissing University awards portal. Since you are automatically considered based on that one form, make sure every section of your profile is fully updated.
• RealismAvoid assuming the award is guaranteed just because you meet the 80% average. Instead, remember that preferences for specific degrees and corporate ties may narrow the pool of winners. Treat this as one part of your broader financial plan.
