Help us make a meaningful impact to last a lifetime
Nipissing University’s commitment to student support is at the heart of what we do. The University has a comprehensive scholarship and awards programs that recognize outstanding achievement at different levels of study. Nipissing University offers over 2,400 scholarships, bursaries and awards totalling $4.5m for students each year.
Nipissing students are talented, dedicated and determined, and helping students fully realize their potential is vital to their future and success. Thanks to the generous contributions of our donors and supporters, gifts made to scholarships, bursaries, and awards will not only encourage scholastic achievement, promote research, and illustrate leadership; it will leave a lasting and meaningful impact on the lives of our students and the communities we serve.
Establishing a Named Award
In addition to the general scholarships and bursaries fund, donors can create named awards funded annually or by an endowment.
Awards may be named in honour of the donor or an organization. Creating a named award can also be a wonderful way to memorialize a family member or someone special and leave a lasting legacy at Nipissing University.
Student Awards Making an Impact
“This award has been so greatly appreciated, not only for the financial support that it comes with, but for the honour of being chosen as the candidate. I am grateful to be acknowledged for the dedication and passion that I pour into my academics and artistic practice. I will be using the money to put towards art supplies and other expenses that will help me to continue producing artwork for future projects and exhibitions.”
