You can receive up to $5,000 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 Master's level nursing student focusing your research on oncology (the study of cancer) or haematology (the study of blood), especially bone marrow failure disorders. 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 — before you start your application, check the Canadian Nurses Foundation (CNF — the national organization supporting nursing education) program page or call their office to confirm when applications open and close this year. You will hear back through the application portal. The CNF awards committee selects winners based on merit. They award over 135 scholarships per year across all tiers, but they do not publish the specific number of winners for this individual award — ask the CNF how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds.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 one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
To qualify, you must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident. You must be enrolled in a Canadian nursing program such as an RN (Registered Nurse), IEN (Internationally Educated Nurse), NP (Nurse Practitioner), LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse), or RPN (Registered Practical Nurse). Specifically for this award, you must be at the Masters Level and focus your research in the field of oncology or haematology, particularly with an interest in bone marrow failure disorders.
