About this award
Get up to $3,000 for your baccalaureate nursing studies, with priority for students in Prince Edward Island (PEI) — apply each December.
You can receive up to $3,000 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 nursing student pursuing a baccalaureate degree, especially if you live in Prince Edward Island (PEI) or attend the University of PEI. 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 — before you start your application, check the Canadian Nurses Foundation (CNF) program page or call their office to confirm when applications open and close this year. The CNF (the national organization that supports nursing education) awards committee selects winners based on merit. They give out over 135 scholarships per year across all their funding tiers, but they do not publish exactly how many go to this specific scholarship — ask the CNF how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge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.
