Graduate scholarships are available to CRNNL members who are currently enrolled in nursing and non-nursing Master's or PhD programs. Applications are only accepted during the fall funding competition (deadline October 15). Members enrolled in PhD programs may also be eligible to apply for the Trust's 25th Anniversary Scholarship from the Canadian Nurses Foundation.
NOTE: Canada Post Strike
Due to the ongoing Canada Post Strike, the Trust will accept unofficial supporting documentation (e.g., transcripts, confirmation of enrollment) directly from applicants in order to meet the application deadline. If your application is successful, you will be required to provide official documentation before your scholarship/bursary is awarded. Supporting documentation for scholarships and bursaries may be emailed to documentation@nlrntrust.ca or dropped off at the CRNNL Office located at 1033 Topsail Road.
