Alumnae Association of the Royal Victoria Hospital Training School for Nurses Scholarship

About this award

Get up to $5,000 for your nursing studies if you are a McGill University Health Centre employee — apply between December and late January.

Depending on your level of study, you can receive up to $3,000 for a Baccalaureate degree or up to $5,000 for a Masters or Nurse Practitioner program. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a dedicated healthcare professional balancing your employment at the McGill University Health Centre with advanced nursing education. Applications open each December and typically close in late January for the following academic year. No specific notification date is posted publicly — when you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back via email, phone, or the portal. Winners are chosen based on merit by the CNF (Canadian Nurses Foundation — the national organization that supports nursing education) awards committee. They award over 135 scholarships per year across all their funding tiers, so you are competing against a large pool of nursing students nationwide. Ask the Canadian Nurses Foundation during your application how the money will reach you — some awards pay students directly, others apply funds to tuition. Confirm this so you can plan your cash flow. Renewal conditions aren't listed — if you're counting on this for multiple years, confirm with the Canadian Nurses Foundation whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
