Conference bursaries are awarded annually to assist RNs and NPs to attend conferences relevant to their nursing practice. Applications are accepted from current CRNNL registrants in any practice setting or employment position.
Value: up to $1000
Application Deadline: April 15th (Spring Competition), October 15th (Fall Competition)
IMPORTANT
- If the number of applications received in the Spring competition is not sufficient to hold a review meeting, funding decisions may be deferred until the Fall competition. In this situation, applicants will not have to re-submit their application.
- Applicants will be notified whether or not their application is successful. Notifications will be sent via email using the address provided in your application. Please be sure to provide an email address that you check regularly.
- If your application is successful, the Trust will reimburse the amount of your bursary after you submit the required documentation (confirmation of expenses - including receipts, proof of attendance etc.).
- Bursary amounts may be adjusted based on the confirmation of your expenses.
- Due to an increase in the number applications, we are no longer able to respond to individual requests for information regarding the status of an application.
