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 full-time student in the political science department who has a strong academic record but needs extra financial help to finish your degree. You must apply by November 1, 2026. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — email, portal, or phone. The department of Political Science 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.
