About this award

You get a $500.00 award. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a business student who maintains a balance between your studies, sports, and giving back to your community. You must apply by November 1, 2026. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — email, 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 full-time Nipissing University business student. To qualify, you need to show you excel in three areas: academics, athletics (which can be varsity or recreational), and social engagement or volunteerism.

This is what the award's official page said when we last checked. Rules change, so confirm on the award's official page before you apply.

Tips for applying

• VolunteerismAvoid just listing the organizations where you volunteered. Instead, describe the specific impact your work had on others. Mention one concrete project you led or supported.
• AthleticsAvoid simply stating you play a sport. Instead, explain how participating in varsity or recreational athletics helped you develop discipline or teamwork skills.
• StrategyAvoid leaving your General Application incomplete. Since you are automatically considered based on that form, ensure every section is filled out thoroughly.
• RealismAvoid assuming this is a guaranteed award. Because it requires a balance of three different achievements, focus your application on proving you excel in all three areas equally.
