About this award

You can receive up to $10,000 for your doctoral 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 registered nurse in New Brunswick pursuing a PhD from any domain of practice. Applications open each December for the following academic year and typically close in late January. The exact closing date for the current cycle is not posted publicly, so check the Canadian Nurses Foundation (CNF, the national organization providing financial support to nurses) program page at cnf-fiic.ca/scholarships/ to confirm the deadline. The CNF awards committee chooses 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 They award over 135 scholarships per year across all their different funding tiers, but they do not publish the exact number of winners for this specific doctoral award — ask the CNF how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds.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.

Who qualifies

To qualify, you must be a registered nurse in New Brunswick studying at the PhD level from all domains 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 Nurses), IEN (Internationally Educated Nurses), NP (Nurse Practitioners), LPN (Licensed Practical Nurses), or RPN (Registered Practical Nurses).

Tips for applying

MeritAvoid listing your duties without showing your impact. Instead, use data and specific examples to prove how your PhD research improves nursing practice. Detail exactly how your work fills a gap in healthcare.
StrategyAvoid treating this as a separate application from other CNF awards. Since a single online application covers every scholarship you are eligible for, spend your time polishing one comprehensive profile rather than hunting for multiple forms.
RealismAvoid ignoring the competition. With over 135 awards spread across many levels of study, this is a competitive process. Focus your application on your unique contribution to the New Brunswick nursing community to stand out.
