The
Bursary Application Cycle
Information
packages and bursary application forms are updated
annually and posted to this website each year in June.
The application deadline is in mid-September. Bursary
winners are notified by email in early December and
receive their cheques in late December or early January.
Tax receipts are issued the following February. Only
winners are contacted.

How
to Apply for a Bursary
First
read the Information Package for the year you are
submitting an application CAREFULLY. Then download the
correct application form (there are two different forms,
one for student nurses and the other for RNs). Complete
it, make sure that all required signatures are included,
attach ALL required documentation, and mail or email it
to the address on the form. Faxed applications will not
be considered. Remember to attach a cheque if you are
paying by cheque. NB: Approximately 25% of applications are rejected because the
application form is not properly completed, the
documentation is incomplete or illegible, or the
application fee is missing or cannot be processed.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Are
bursaries retroactive, i.e. for courses already
completed?
No,
applicants must be attending the class or course within
the academic year in which they are making their
application and provide proof of registration.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Can
I apply for a bursary, if I am studying outside B.C.?
Yes,
but only if you are can provide documentation that you
are a permanent resident of B.C., i.e. a copy of your
B.C. driver’s licence, BCID card or a utility bill. If
you are already an RN
or
RPN, you must include proof of current CRNBC or CRPNBC
registration.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Can
I apply for more than one bursary?
Yes,
but read the Information Package carefully, review the
criteria for each bursary, tick off all boxes beside the
bursaries for which you are eligible, and submit ONE
application and ONE
set of documentation ONLY.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
What
are the amounts of bursary awards?
The
bursary awards range from $1000 – $1500.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
How
are winners selected?
The
Bursary Committee selects a winner from the eligible
pool of applicants for each bursary by random draw in
October each year.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Are
bursaries based on financial need?
No,
we believe that all applicants, by applying, have
identified a financial need in their pursuit of higher
education. Each applicant must meet the basic criteria
as identified in the Information Package and meet the
additional criteria for specific bursaries as identified
on the appropriate Application Form.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Are
bursaries available for part-time studies?
Yes,
there are a few, so read the Information Form carefully
to identify where each bursary might be directed, and
the specific requirements for it.
