About this award

You get $818.00. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep — there is nothing to repay. This is for you if you are a Registered Nurse who is continuing your education in graduate studies. You must apply by February 2, 2027. When you apply, ask Lakehead University how and when you'll hear back — whether by email, portal, or phone. You will be automatically considered for this award based on your completed General Application. Ask Lakehead University how many students usually apply, so you can judge your odds. Ask Lakehead University 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 Lakehead University whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

You must be a Registered Nurse continuing your education in graduate studies. A preference will be given to those continuing in Nursing.

Tips for applying

Nursing ExperienceAvoid just listing your job title. Instead, describe the specific nursing skills you are building through your continued education. Mention how your graduate studies connect to your clinical practice.
SupportAvoid using a generic character reference. Instead, ask a supervisor or professor who knows your work as a Registered Nurse to vouch for your professional growth.
StrategyAvoid leaving your General Application incomplete. Since you are automatically considered based on that form, ensure every section is filled out thoroughly before the February 2 deadline.
RealismAvoid assuming this award is guaranteed. Because it is awarded annually to a specific professional group, check with Lakehead University to see how many nurses typically apply each year.
