Awarded to a student who is admitted to first year of any undergraduate program in the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering on the basis of financial need and academic merit. Preference is given to students from North Bay. For recipients of this award who are from North Bay, the scholarship is renewable for three years, provided the recipient continues to demonstrate need and maintains his/her academic standing (min. 60%). In this case, there will be no admission award made until the North Bay candidate completes his/her 4 years of study (or is no longer eligible for the renewal, whichever occurs first). If the recipient is not from North Bay, the award is not renewable.
