About this award

You can receive $450.00. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a full-time student at Nipissing University in the Bachelor of Education program and you live with a permanent or prolonged disability. 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 Nipissing University student enrolled in the Bachelor of Education program. You must also have a permanent or prolonged disability. To prove this, you must be registered as a student with a permanent or prolonged disability with either the Nipissing Student Accessibilities Services or your province's Financial Aid office.

Tips for applying

• RegistrationAvoid waiting until the application deadline to register your disability status. Instead, ensure your records are updated with Student Accessibilities Services immediately. Contact the office today to confirm your registration is active.
• StrategyAvoid leaving your General Application incomplete. Instead, fill out every optional section to ensure you are considered for all possible awards. Set a calendar reminder to review your portal entries weekly.
• RealismAvoid relying on this $450.00 as your primary source of funding. Instead, treat it as a helpful supplement while you apply for larger provincial and federal grants. List all potential funding sources in a spreadsheet to track your totals.
