This scholarship seems like a great opportunity for future educators! Especially considering the financial burden of going to college these days. $7,500 can make a big difference.
The scholarship being non-renewable is a bit of a bummer. Student costs keep adding up each year, and a one-time grant doesn’t go as far…
Nipissing is a great school, especially for those who want a smaller, more community-oriented feel. The profs are fantastic, and the location is beautiful.
Non-renewable scholarship? Seriously? That’s like offering a bandaid for a gunshot wound. Students are drowning in debt, and a one-time handout won’t solve the problem.
This whole scholarship thing is a gamble. What if I get this scholarship, go into teaching for a year, and then realize it’s not for me? Am I stuck repaying the money? The terms and conditions need to be clearer about these scenarios.
