The St. Clare's Alumni Association annually awards a scholarship in memory of Isabel Woodford to a St. Clare’s Mercy Hospital School of Nursing graduate, or a son or daughter of a graduate, who is participating in a continuing education program/event.
A prior recipient of the St. Clare’s Alumni Association scholarship is not eligible to re-apply.
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 scholarship is not awarded in the spring competition, 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. 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.
