About this award

$2,000.00 is available for this 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 pursuing a Master of Environmental Science and have a strong record of volunteering and helping your community while managing financial challenges. 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 a student in the Master of Environmental Science program who has demonstrated financial need and community involvement. A preference is given to a student who has previously graduated from an undergraduate program at Nipissing University.

Tips for applying

• Community InvolvementAvoid just listing the organizations where you volunteered. Instead, describe the specific impact your work had on the people you helped. Write about one project where your effort led to a visible result.
• Financial NeedAvoid giving a vague statement that you need money. Instead, provide a clear explanation of your current financial gaps. List the specific costs that make this funding necessary for your studies.
• StrategyAvoid leaving your General Application incomplete. Since you are automatically considered based on that form, ensure every optional field is filled out to show your full profile.
• RealismAvoid assuming the preference for Nipissing alumni is a strict requirement. If you graduated from a different school, you can still apply, but focus heavily on your community involvement to stand out.
