Community Network Bursary

The Bursary Program

The Community Network Bursary Program provides financial support to students in health and social services programs; it is designed to respond to regional and local priorities for access to health and social services in English.

Community network partners are funded by Dialogue McGill to administer the Bursary Program in their region. The Bursary Program is part of Dialogue McGill’s Retention Program.

Bursary Amounts

Bursary amounts depend on the level of study and whether the educational institution is located within or outside the student’s home region.

Outside Home Region
University:
$5,000
CEGEP:
$2,500
Vocational:
$1,000-$2,000
Within Home Region
University:
$10,000
CEGEP:
$5,000
Vocational:
$1,000-$2,000

There is no maximum number of bursaries a student can receive under the bursary program. The participating community networks can create their own guidelines in this regard in response to local and regional dynamics.

Return for Service

For each bursary awarded, recipients commit to working in their home region, or the catchment area of the sponsoring community network, following the successful completion of their studies for a minimum of one (1) year full-time in a public health and social services institution.
