UNA First Year Nursing Scholarship
UNA will be awarding seven Nursing Scholarships this year, to assist students in their first year of an approved nursing program in Alberta.
The Scholarships encourage young people, particularly those with a family history in nursing, to take up the profession.
The Scholarships are $750.00 each. The students must be related to a UNA member in good standing, and complete a short essay to be eligible for the award.
Completed applications must be received at the UNA Provincial Office no later than 4:30 pm, October 14, 2011. The awards will be announced in late January 2012.
