About this award

You can receive $925.00. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep — there is nothing to repay. This is for you if you are an upper year student in the Bachelor of Fine Arts program who is working toward becoming a professional artist. 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 an upper year student in the Bachelor of Fine Arts program. 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).
