About This Opportunity
The Joyce Family Foundation Bursary provides financial support to undergraduate students entering Year One of any program in any faculty at Nipissing University. Three awards, valued at up to $5000 each over eight academic terms, will be awarded annually to deserving students who demonstrate significant financial need and have overcome obstacles and adversity. Recipients must be Canadian citizens, permanent residents, or protected persons, and must be residents of Ontario who have graduated from a Northern Ontario high school within the last three years. Preference will be given to students from the Northern Ontario region. Selected students must commit to working with a mentor throughout their undergraduate studies. This fund is made possible by a generous donation from The Joyce Family Foundation, which is committed to providing access to education for youth who face significant financial barriers and have demonstrated the ability to overcome obstacles and adversity.
