Education Enhancement Bursary Guidelines

Fund Purpose

A limited number of education enhancement bursaries (EEB) are available to assist undergraduate students, graduate students, and post-doctoral fellows in the College of Nursing to participate in educational experiences such as:

Conferences (i.e. CNSA National Conference);
International clinical placements; or
Clinical placements outside of their registered college site (distances greater than 75 km for a one-way trip).

Applications for experiences not on the above list will be considered based on financial need and the benefit of the experience to the individual student and/or the College of Nursing.
