NANB Masters Scholarship

About this award

Get up to $5,000 for your Masters in nursing if you are a registered nurse in New Brunswick — apply online starting each December.

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 registered nurse practicing in New Brunswick who wants to advance your skills through a Masters degree. Applications open each December for the following academic year and usually close in late January. No exact date is posted publicly for the current cycle, so check the Canadian Nurses Foundation (CNF — the national organization that provides financial support to nurses) program page at cnf-fiic.ca/scholarships/ to confirm when the window opens and closes this year. You will hear back via the methods listed on their portal. 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 They give out over 135 scholarships per year across all tiers, but they do not publish the exact number of winners for this specific Masters award — ask the CNF how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds.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 one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
