Although they have different criteria attached to them, Scholarships, Awards and Bursaries all mean money toward your education! Nipissing offers approximately 1,400 separate scholarships, bursaries and awards each year totalling about $1.4 million.

So what do the terms mean? Here are the definitions:

• Scholarships: based on academic achievement. (Note: unless otherwise specified in the terms of the scholarship, you must be in a full course load (18 credits) to be considered for an award and to receive the award)
• Bursaries: based on financial need.
• Awards: based on financial need, academics and other relevant criteria.
