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 a dedicated nursing student in Ontario who balances strong academic performance with financial need. You must apply by November 1, 2026. When you apply, ask Nipissing University how and when you will hear back — whether it is through email, the portal, or a phone call. The Department of Nursing chooses the winner 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 full-time student in at least the second year of the Bachelor of Science (Nursing) program. You need a minimum academic average of 70%. 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).
