Scholarships, awards and bursaries
Here in the Faculty of Nursing (FON) we love to recognize talent and hard work!
There are many scholarships, bursaries and awards available to students in the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BScN) (Collaborative) Program at the FON, Centre for Nursing Studies (CNS) and the Western Regional School of Nursing (WRSON).
Some are designed for those entering their first year (entrance awards); others for students beyond their first year (undergraduate awards).
Awards are available based on a particial interest in specific fields, such as heart health, or obstetrics, and you'll also find travel awards for students who want to pursue clinical studies in remote communities, in Labrador, or in a developing country. You can apply for eligible awards using this application form.
We've included links to information on external awards not administered by Memorial University for which you might be eligible.
There's also recognition every year for academic achievement through our Dean's List for students who place within the top 10 per cent of the degree program, among other criteria.
