Q Q GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE
The Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) is available to Ontario residents
who are Canadian citizens and/or who are permanent residents of Canada.
Funding is available to students for full-and part-time study. Full time OSAP
provides funding for direct educational costs and an allowance for living costs, local
travel and childcare, if applicable. Funding is based on a need calculation performed
by the government.
Part time OSAP provides funding for direct educational costs (i.e. tuition, ancillary
fees, books and supplies) and is based on whether your previous year’s income
meets the government thresholds set each year. In both cases, funding may be
provided in the form of loans and/or grants, depending on individual circumstances.

employers say...
“We are very impressed with Nipissing’s Education Career Fair and the quality of graduates from the Schulich School of Education. The students are always well
prepared, have strong resumes, and are interested in learning more about what the OCDSB has to offer. Over the last couple of years, the number of new teacher
positions at the OCDSB has grown and we are continuing to add teaching positions. We have traditionally enjoyed great success with Nipissing University graduates.”
Barry Scott, Human Resources Officer, Ottawa Carleton District School Board
“Nipissing’s Education Career Fair is extremely well organized and thoughtfully designed. The students are well organized, they ask smart questions, look professional
and have given some thought to what they want in their career. We work with a lot of First Nations communities and the Nipissing students are prepared and
knowledgeable about Indigenous education. It’s wonderful to meet future teachers who are so well-informed and open to working in the North.”

Turning ideas into reality
For award winning business student Jeremy Butterworth, the Introduction to Entrepreneurship course he took in 2017
instantly helped him realize his dreams. The third-year student turned his course-work into a full-fledged business
opportunity, with external funding allowing him to make a reality out of his idea for a fitness-based app, named Flex.
“My professors were incredibly helpful in pushing me to flesh out all aspects of the business plan, including financial
forecasting and competitor analysis. They really helped me synthesize the plan to become a professional product, and
also helped me to find grants that were available for young entrepreneurs. I highly recommend this course to any
students interested in entrepreneurship.”
Jeremy is now working with a company to develop the app and is planning to launch Flex this year.
Faculty research at Nipissing contributes toa better
understanding of o ur communitiesand ourselves.
great research = first rate teaching
Dr. Carly Dokis, Assistant Professor of Anthropology, is working with Anishinaabe communities in Northern Ontario on the
ways that risk calculation around water quality is constructed, and how water is known and experienced by community
members. One of the strengths of this research program, funded by SSHRC, is the adoption of an exploratory methodology
established cooperatively with Dokis First Nation, which involves exchanging accounts about a common theme in the form of
storycircles. Storycircles bring together an interdisciplinary team of knowledge holders and expertise to better understand the
subjective and affective consequences of water quality risks for Indigenous peoples in Canada – an issue of direct importance
to Indigenous communities, policy-makers, scholars, and the general public.
