About this award

You can receive $800.00. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a graduate student who needs extra financial support to help cover your education costs. 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

You must be a full time student in the School of Graduate Studies at Nipissing University. You are required to maintain a minimum 70% average and demonstrate financial need.

Tips for applying

• Financial NeedAvoid giving a vague statement about needing money. Instead, provide a clear explanation of your current financial gaps and how this $800 would help. List your specific monthly expenses compared to your income.
• StrategyAvoid waiting until the last minute to fill out the General Application. Instead, complete your profile in the Nipissing University awards portal early. Since you are automatically considered, a complete profile is your only way to enter.
• RealismAvoid assuming this award is guaranteed just because you meet the 70% average. Instead, treat this as a helpful top-up rather than your primary source of funding. Apply for multiple bursaries to increase your chances.
