About this award

You can receive a $650.00 award. 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 a full-time student in the Bachelor of Social Work program who has a demonstrated 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 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

You must be a full-time student enrolled in the Bachelor of Social Work program. 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) and show that you have a financial need. A preference is given to students in their third or fourth year who show dedication to the North Bay and Nipissing community through their involvement in community service.

Tips for applying

• Community ServiceAvoid just listing the organizations where you volunteered. Instead, describe the specific impact your work had on the North Bay and Nipissing communities. Mention a specific project you led or a group of people you helped.
• SupportAvoid providing vague references. Instead, ask a community leader who saw your work firsthand to provide a letter confirming your dedication to local service.
• StrategyAvoid leaving your General Application incomplete. Since you are automatically considered based on that form, ensure every section regarding your financial need and community involvement is fully detailed.
• RealismAvoid assuming this award will cover all your costs. Because the value is $650.00, treat this as a helpful top-up rather than your primary source of tuition funding.
