About this award

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 pursuing a Master Nursing program specifically focused on Public or Community Health. 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 at cnf-fiic.ca/scholarships/ to confirm the exact closing date. Winners are chosen based on merit by the CNF awards committee. They award over 135 scholarships per year across all their different funding tiers, though they do not publish the exact number of winners for this specific award. 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 Canadian citizen or permanent resident. You must be enrolled in a Canadian nursing program such as 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 in a Master Nursing program in Public or Community Health.

RealismWith over 135 scholarships given across all tiers, the competition is spread out. Your best chance is to prove exactly how your Master's focus aligns with the specific goal of improving public health outcomes.
