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 (RN — a nurse who has completed a baccalaureate degree) pursuing a PhD in Newfoundland. 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 check the Canadian Nurses Foundation (CNF) program page or call their office to confirm exactly when the window closes this year. You will hear back from the organisers via the methods listed on their portal. Winners are chosen based on merit by the CNF awards committee. They award over 135 scholarships per year across all their different funding tiers, but they do not publish the exact number of winners for this specific PhD award — ask the CNF how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds.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 a one-time payment or renewable and what you need to maintain.
To qualify, you must be a Registered Nurse (RN) pursuing PhD level studies in Newfoundland. You must also be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident and be enrolled in a Canadian nursing program, such as those for RNs, Internationally Educated Nurses (IEN), Nurse Practitioners (NP), Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN), or Registered Practical Nurses (RPN).
