Marilynne Convey Aplastic Anemia & Myelodysplasia Association Of Canada (AAMAC) Award

About this award

Get up to $5,000 for your Master's level nursing research in oncology or haematology — apply online starting each December.

You can receive up to $5,000 for this award. As a scholarship, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a Master's level nursing student focusing your research on oncology (the study and treatment of tumors) or haematology (the study of blood), especially if you are interested in bone marrow failure disorders. 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, so check the Canadian Nurses Foundation (CNF — the national organization providing financial support to nurses) program page at cnf-fiic.ca/scholarships/ to confirm the exact closing date. The CNF awards committee chooses winners based on merit. They give out over 135 scholarships per year across all tiers, but they do not publish exactly how many people win this specific award — ask the CNF how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds.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.
