About this award

Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for funding toward your post-secondary studies in creative writing or palliative care health education.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact John Kim Bell to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. 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 pursuing a career as an author or a healthcare professional focusing on palliative care (medical care for people with serious illnesses who are approaching the end of life). You can apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, phone, or a portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask John Kim Bell how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask John Kim Bell 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 John Kim Bell whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
