About this award

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 Manitoba-based nursing student focusing on community health, primary care, or supporting at-risk populations like children or the elderly. Applications open each December for the following academic year and typically close in late January. No specific date is posted publicly for the current cycle, so check the Canadian Nurses Foundation (CNF — the national organization providing financial support to nurses) program page or call their office to confirm when the window closes this year. You will hear back through the application portal or email. Winners are chosen based on merit by the CNF awards committee. They award over 135 scholarships per year across all their different funding tiers, so it is a competitive process. 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.

Who qualifies

You must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident and a resident of Manitoba. You must be a member of ARNM (the Association of Registered Nurses of Manitoba — the professional body for nurses in the province) and enrolled in a Canadian nursing program such as RN (Registered Nurse), IEN (Internationally Educated Nurse), NP (Nurse Practitioner), LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse), or RPN (Registered Practical Nurse). To qualify for this specific fund, you must be studying at the Masters Level in one of these areas: community health nursing, primary health care, health promotion, nursing administration, nursing education, cross-cultural nursing, or studies focusing on "At Risk Populations" (including children, adolescents, young adults, middle age, and the elderly).
