Health Educators Bursary

One bursary is awarded by the Health Care Educators Association of NL Special Interest Group to support RNs in staff or clinical educator roles to participate in non-credit continuing education activities that support their educator role (e.g., conference, post-basic course, CNA Certification).  Academic programs (e.g., BN, MN) are not eligible.

Value:  up to $750

Application Deadline:  April 15th (Spring Competition), October 15th (Fall Competition)

IMPORTANT

  • If the number of applications received in the Spring competition is not sufficient to hold a review meeting, funding decisions may be deferred until the Fall competition.  In this situation, applicants will not have to re-submit their application.
  • There is only one bursary awarded per year. If the bursary is not awarded in the spring, applications will be accepted in the fall.
  • Funding decisions for the Spring competition will be made in early-mid May. The Fall funding decisions will be made in mid-late November.
  • Applicants will be notified whether or not their application is successful. Notifications will be sent via email using the address provided in your application. Please be sure to provide an email address that you check regularly.
  • If your application is successful, the Trust will reimburse the amount of your bursary after you submit the required documentation.
  • Bursary amounts may be adjusted based on the confirmation of your expenses.
  • Due to an increase in the number applications, we are no longer able to respond to individual requests for information regarding the status of an application.
