About this award

You can receive a $2,000 bursary to help cover the costs of your degree. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are starting your journey in the nursing profession and need financial support to manage the higher costs of a degree program. You must apply by October 26, 2026. When you apply, ask Centennial College how and when you will hear back — whether it is through email, the portal, or a phone call. Ask Centennial College how many students usually apply, so you can judge your odds. The money is first used to pay off any tuition fees you still owe. If there is money left over, Centennial College will transfer it directly to your bank account. Renewal conditions aren't listed — if you are counting on this for multiple years, confirm with Centennial College whether it is a one-time award or if you can apply again.

Who qualifies

You must be a full-time student enrolled in the first semester of the Bachelor of Science Nursing (9250/9260) program at Centennial College.

Tips for applying

• CriteriaAvoid simply confirming you meet the requirements. Instead, use the supplemental questions to clearly explain why this financial support is needed for your first semester. Provide a brief, honest account of your situation.
• SupportAvoid submitting your application without double-checking your enrollment status. Instead, ensure your registration as a full-time student is finalized. Contact the registrar's office to confirm your status before applying.
• RealismAvoid assuming this award will cover all your degree costs. Instead, treat this $2,000 as a helpful supplement to other grants or loans. Map out your total first-semester expenses to see where the gap remains.
