The Registered Nurses Foundation of BC (RNFBC) is proud to announce a significant milestone in its commitment to advancing nursing education and supporting healthcare excellence in British Columbia. Thanks to a generous $5 million grant from the Ministry of Health, awarded over five years, RNFBC has been able to expand its bursary program dramatically. This year alone, bursaries totaling $901,000 were awarded to 886 nursing students and nurses, marking an increase of over 700 bursaries compared to previous years.
RNFBC expresses its heartfelt gratitude to the Ministry of Health for its vital contribution, which has enabled a new generation of nursing professionals to pursue their studies and elevate the quality of healthcare across BC. On behalf of our recipients, including one who shared, “This bursary has made it possible for me to focus fully on my studies and my dream of becoming a nurse,” we thank the Ministry and all our donors for their transformative support.
