What you will need

About this award

You can receive $825.00. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are an English Studies major who is balancing your academic goals with financial challenges. 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

To qualify, you must be a second, third, or fourth year full-time student majoring in English Studies with a minimum 70% average. 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).

Tips for applying

• Financial NeedAvoid giving vague descriptions of your situation. Instead, provide clear details about your specific financial gaps. List your current expenses and why this $825 would make a difference in your term.
• StrategyAvoid leaving your General Application incomplete. Since you are automatically considered based on that form, ensure every section is filled out accurately before the November 1 deadline.
• RealismAvoid assuming this is a guaranteed fund. Because it requires both a 70% average and proven financial need, treat this as a helpful supplement rather than your primary source of tuition.
