About this award
Get up to $10,000 for your PhD in nursing if you are a registered nurse in New Brunswick — apply between December and late January.
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 regardless of your specific domain of practice. Applications open each December and typically close in late January for the following academic year. No specific time zone is posted, so check the Canadian Nurses Foundation (CNF — the national organization supporting nursing education) website for the exact closing hour. You will hear back through the application portal or email, though the exact notification date isn't listed. 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 They award over 135 scholarships per year across all their different funding tiers, but they do not publish the exact number of winners for the PhD level specifically. Ask the CNF how many PhD awards they typically grant 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 GPA or enrollment status you need to maintain.
