Education & Support

Nursing students can also qualify for financial assistance through web-based bursaries. Listed below are a few Web sites that should help you get started in your search for financial assistance.

    TD Insurance Meloche Monnex offers two annual scholarships in the amount of $2,500.00 each, to be awarded through the University of New Brunswick and the Université de Moncton. These bursaries are offered as support for master’s education programs in New Brunswick. The bursaries are open to full or part time students, and are awarded on the basis of academic excellence and participation in activities that benefit the nursing profession. Contact your university for more information about the scholarship.

  • Canadian Nurses Foundation

    The New Brunswick Nurses Foundation (NBNF) was established in 1988 by the NANB to raise funds to support nursing education. In 1996, these funds were transferred to the Canadian Nurses Foundation (CNF) and, in keeping with the wishes of the NBNF, an award was created for New Brunswick nurses who are pursuing studies at the master’s level and who demonstrate their ability to become future valuable contributors to the nursing profession in Canada. In 2008, to celebrate the Centennial of the Canadian Nurses Association, NANB established a second scholarship to be awarded to an NANB member pursuing Masters education and residing in New Brunswick.

    NANB celebrated 100 years of nursing regulation in 2016. To commemorate this celebration a third scholarship was established to support PhD studies for NANB members. This award, the NANB Centennial PhD Scholarship was matched by the Government of New Brunswick with the establishment of a second PhD scholarship, the New Brunswick PhD Nursing Scholarship. There are now four awards available to NANB members from the CNF.

    • NANB CNA Centennial Scholarship (Masters Scholarship) - $5,000
    • NANB Masters Scholarship - $5,000
    • NANB/TD Meloche Monnex Centennial Doctoral scholarship - $10,000
    • New Brunswick PhD nursing scholarship - $10,000

    Visit the Canadian Nurses Foundation website for more information.
