NUSU Bachelor of Education Award

What you will need

• ✓ Completed General Application via the Nipissing University awards portal
• ✓ Ontario residency as defined by OSAP (the Ontario Student Assistance Program)

About this award

You will receive $625.00. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are an incoming B.Ed (Bachelor of Education) student who has already spent time contributing to the Nipissing University community through student government or student affairs. You must apply by November 1, 2026. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, the portal, or phone. 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

You must be an incoming B.Ed (Bachelor of Education) student who has demonstrated a commitment to the Nipissing University community during your undergraduate studies. You need to show leadership in student government and student affairs and have made a personal contribution to the life of the university. Additionally, you must 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).

Tips for applying

• LeadershipAvoid just listing the titles of the clubs you joined. Instead, describe the specific ways your work in student government improved the university for others. List one project you led from start to finish.
• StrategyAvoid waiting until the last minute to fill out your general form. Since you are automatically considered based on your General Application, ensure every section of that form is detailed and complete.
• RealismAvoid assuming this award is guaranteed just because you were in student government. Because you must also prove financial need and Ontario residency, treat this as one part of a larger funding plan.
