  • are pursuing studies in a government recognized educational institution located INSIDE or OUTSIDE their home region;

    • are accepted into or currently pursuing full-time studies in an eligible health and social service program;

      • Eligible programs are government recognized health and social services programs that permit the students to work professionally in Quebec upon completion of studies. Programs of study must prepare students for careers where they will be providing direct care and service; consult the list of eligible programs to learn more.

  • are registered full-time for the application period’s academic year;

  • are committed, following completion of studies, to working in their home region, or catchment area of the sponsoring community network, in a recognized public health and social services institution for a minimum of one year per bursary awarded;

    • Medical program graduates will be required to work in a Quebec public health and social services institution for a minimum of one year per bursary awarded. A specific region is not required due to Quebec’s permit assignment system, known as the plans régionaux d’effectifs médicaux (PREM)

  • agree to participate in any follow-up, monitoring or evaluation of the Program conducted by Dialogue McGill and / or the community network.

Please note that the Bursary Program is not available to students registered in independent study programs, nor programs that do not lead to a degree or diploma.

Students are uniquely responsible for ensuring that any Dialogue McGill awarded bursary does not conflict with the requirements of bursaries awarded from another funding source or organization. We recommend that students communicate with their funding sponsors to clarify any potential conflicts.
