Alberta Health Care Aide Bursaries

Health Care Aide Tuition Bursary Program

The Health Care Aide Tuition Bursary Program is funded by the Government of Alberta to help people become Health Care Aides. This program provides up to $9,000 in financial support for students or graduates from any school offering the Alberta-licensed Health Care Aide program. The program started accepting applications for students whose programs began on or after July 1, 2022. Funds are provided in two installments after applicants meet specific criteria and submit required documents correctly. By accepting the bursary, recipients commit to work as a Health Care Aide in Alberta after graduation through a Return of Service Agreement, with proof of employment required at an approved continuing care operator. The bursary application process happens in three stages over the course of studies through an online portal managed by NorQuest College.
