About this award

You can receive $925.00. 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 an upper-year business student who balances strong grades with a genuine financial need for funding. 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. 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 a full-time upper year student enrolled in the Bachelor of Business Administration program. You need a minimum average of 75% 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).

Tips for applying

• Financial NeedAvoid giving vague descriptions of your situation. Instead, provide clear details about why you need this funding to continue your studies. List your specific monthly gaps in tuition or living costs.
• StrategyAvoid leaving your General Application incomplete. Since you are automatically considered based on that form, ensure every section is filled out thoroughly. Double-check that your OSAP (Ontario Student Assistance Program) status is current.
• RealismAvoid assuming an automatic entry guarantees a win. Because this is presented annually to a specific group, competition among upper-year business students is high. Apply for several different bursaries to increase your chances.
