CRNM Centennial Legacy

About this award

Get up to $5,000 for your Masters level nursing studies if you are a Manitoba resident registered with ARNM.

You can receive up to $5,000 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 practicing nurse in Manitoba pursuing a higher degree to advance your clinical skills. Applications open each December and usually close in late January for the following academic year. No specific date is posted publicly for the current cycle, so you should check the Canadian Nurses Foundation (CNF — the national organization that supports nursing education) program page at cnf-fiic.ca/scholarships/ to confirm the exact deadline. Winners are chosen based on merit by the CNF awards committee. They give out over 135 scholarships per year across all their different funding tiers, though they do not publish the exact number of winners for this specific award. 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.
