Joyce Family Foundation Bursary

Three awards, valued at up to $5,000 each over 8 academic terms, will be awarded annually to deserving undergraduate students entering Year One of any program, in any faculty. To be considered, students must be Canadian citizens, permanent residents or protected persons as well as residents of Ontario who graduated from a Northern Ontario high school within the last 3 years.

Preference will be given to students from the region of Northern Ontario. Selection will be based on a combination of demonstrated financial need, as determined by Nipissing University, as well as a reference letter from an individual who is aware of the student’s personal circumstances and can speak to their resilience in the face of adversity and potential for success in their post-secondary studies.

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.
