About this award
Get up to $10,000 for your PhD studies in nursing if you are an RN based in Newfoundland.
You can receive up to $10,000 for your studies. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a Registered Nurse (RN — a nurse who has completed a baccalaureate degree and passed a licensing exam) pursuing a PhD in Newfoundland. Applications open each December for the following academic year and usually close in late January. No specific date is posted publicly for the current cycle — before you start the application, check the Canadian Nurses Foundation (CNF — the national organization supporting nursing education) program page or call their office to confirm when applications open and close this year. You will hear back via the methods listed on their portal. The CNF awards committee selects winners based on merit. They award over 135 scholarships per year across all tiers, but selection criteria aren't published — ask the Canadian Nurses Foundation how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. 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.
