Scholarships, Bursaries & Awards: In-Course

Established by the Metis Nation of Ontario to encourage and support Metis students in undergraduate programs at Nipissing University, the Metis Nation of Ontario (MNO) Metis Student Bursary Program provides bursaries to registered students who are verified Metis citizens of the Metis Nation of Ontario. Applicants may be studying in any discipline of any year and must be meeting all academic program requirements, along with demonstrated financial need. Selected awardees are considered only "conditional" until such time as their citizenship status can be confirmed. These awardees will be provided with a direct link to consent and complete the MNO verification process (This will involve providing key demographic information and consent to have citizenship status checked by the MNO’s 3rd party Registry). 

Applicants will be required to complete the MNO Metis Student Bursary Application and consent to an MNO citizenship verification check to confirm eligibility for these awards. If you have any questions, please direct all inquiries to: PSEsupport@metisnation.org.
