About this award

You can receive a bursary of $600. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. These awards are given out annually. This is for you if you are a nurse returning to the profession through the Nursing Re-Entry program and need financial support to complete your studies. You have two deadlines to choose from: January 15th and June 15th. When you apply, ask RRC Polytech (Red River College Polytechnic) how and when you will hear back — whether it is by email, phone, or through the application portal. Selection is based on your demonstrated financial need. Selection criteria aren't published in detail — ask RRC Polytech (Red River College Polytechnic) how they evaluate financial need and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask RRC Polytech (Red River College Polytechnic) 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 RRC Polytech (Red River College Polytechnic) whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
