About this award

You can receive up to $5,000 for your studies. As a scholarship, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a registered nurse in New Brunswick pursuing a Masters degree from any domain of practice. 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 — the national organization supporting nursing education) program page at cnf-fiic.ca/scholarships/ to confirm the exact deadline before you apply. You will hear back via the portal or email once the committee decides. The CNF awards committee selects winners based on merit. They award over 135 scholarships per year across all their different funding tiers, but they do not publish the exact number of winners for this specific award — ask the CNF how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds.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 award or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

To qualify, you must be a registered nurse in New Brunswick studying at the Masters level from any domain of practice. You must also be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident and be enrolled in a Canadian nursing program, such as those for RN (Registered Nurse), IEN (Internationally Educated Nurse), NP (Nurse Practitioner), LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse), or RPN (Registered Practical Nurse).

Tips for applying

StrategyDon't treat this as a separate application. Since one single form covers every CNF scholarship you qualify for, spend your time perfecting one comprehensive profile rather than trying to tailor multiple versions.
RealismWith over 135 awards given across all levels, the competition is spread out. However, because this is restricted to New Brunswick nurses, your odds are better than the general pool — focus heavily on your ties to the province.
