Beginning in 2008, the Academy of Canadian Executive Nurses is pleased to offer two scholarships, each valued at $2,500, to be awarded annually to nurses pursuing graduate studies in nursing at the Master's or PhD level. One scholarship is directed to a candidate studying at the Master’s level, the other to a Doctoral candidate. These scholarships are designed to provide support for graduate students preparing themselves for nursing leadership positions within Canada.

Scholarships are awarded each summer for study beginning in the fall term.

To ensure that everyone have time to apply we have extended the date for application this year. Completed scholarship applications must be received by January 10th, 2010
