About this award

You can receive up to $5,000 for your studies. 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 registered nurse practicing in New Brunswick who is pursuing a Masters degree in any domain of nursing. Applications open each December and typically 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 before you apply. You will hear back from the provider via the methods listed on their portal. Winners are chosen based on merit by the CNF awards committee. They award over 135 scholarships per year across all their different funding tiers, but they do not publish the exact number of winners for this specific Masters award — ask the CNF how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds.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 a one-time award or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

To qualify, you must be a registered nurse in New Brunswick studying at the Masters level from any domain of practice. You must also be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident and be enrolled in a Canadian nursing program, such as those for RN (Registered Nurses), IEN (Internationally Educated Nurses), NP (Nurse Practitioners), LPN (Licensed Practical Nurses), or RPN (Registered Practical Nurses).
