Student Support Fund

The Student Support Fund at Nipissing University provides students with urgent financial assistance to help cover immediate, essential expenses because of an emergency. The fund recognizes that personal finances should not be a limiting factor for students and addresses unexpected life challenges that create barriers for students to continue their studies. Eligible expenses include addressing housing insecurity due to emergencies, exceptional life circumstances such as illness in family, fire, or flooding, family crisis, emergency drug prescriptions, emergency dentistry, and emergency eyewear. The fund is issued in the form of a personal cheque and students are normally permitted financial support through the Student Support Fund once during their academic career at Nipissing University.
