This scholarship was created to honour Kay Daley, an amazing leader in nursing and nursing administration in our province. The Kay Daley Leadership Legacy Fund will award one scholarship annually to a nurse who is pursuing a non-credit continuing education program or event that will enhance leadership development.
Value: up to $1,000
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.
- There is only one scholarship awarded annually. If the scholarship is not awarded in the spring, applications will be accepted in the fall.
- Funding decisions for the Spring competition will be made in early-mid May. The Fall funding decisions will be made in mid-late November.
- 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 for a non-credit continuing event, the Trust will reimburse the amount of your bursary after you submit the required documentation.
