About this award

You can receive $825.00. As a scholarship, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a dedicated History student who is balancing your academic goals with financial challenges. 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. Selection is based on academic merit and financial need. 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 History. You need a minimum 70% average and must demonstrate financial need. You must also be a resident of Ontario as defined by OSAP (the Ontario Student Assistance Program — the provincial office that manages student loans and grants).
