About this award

Get up to $10,000 for your doctoral nursing studies if you are a registered nurse in New Brunswick.

You can receive up to $10,000 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 in New Brunswick pursuing a PhD and want to advance your expertise in any area of nursing practice. Applications usually open each December and close in late January for the following academic year. No specific date is posted publicly for the current cycle — before you start the application, check the Canadian Nurses Foundation (CNF — the national organization that provides financial support to nursing students) program page or call their office to confirm when applications open and close this year. You will hear back via the methods specified on their portal. Winners are chosen based on merit by the CNF awards committee. They give out over 135 scholarships per year across all tiers, but they do not publish exactly how many go to the doctoral level — ask the CNF how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask the CNF 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 CNF whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
