About this award

You can receive a $1,000.00 grant for the 2026–2027 academic year. As a grant, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a student at Nipissing University who balances strong grades with a genuine need for financial support. 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. Only one student will receive this award. 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 can apply if you are enrolled in any program of study at Nipissing University. To qualify, you must demonstrate a strong combination of academic excellence and financial need.

Tips for applying

• Financial NeedAvoid providing vague statements about your situation. Instead, use specific examples of your expenses and income gaps. List your monthly costs clearly to show why this $1,000 would help.
• StrategyAvoid leaving your General Application incomplete. Since you are automatically considered based on that form, ensure every optional field is filled out to maximize your visibility.
• RealismAvoid assuming this is a guaranteed fund. Because only one student is selected for the 2026–2027 year, you should apply for several other bursaries at the same time.
