NANB/TD Meloche Monnex Centennial Doctoral Scholarship

About this award

Get up to $10,000 for your PhD studies if you are a registered nurse in New Brunswick — applications open each December.

You can receive up to $10,000 for your doctoral 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 in New Brunswick pursuing a PhD from any domain of practice. 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 you should 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 deadline. The CNF awards committee chooses winners based on merit. They award over 135 scholarships per year across all their different funding tiers, but they do not publish the exact number of winners for this specific doctoral award — ask the CNF how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds.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.
