Dr. Margaret F. Munro Master in Nursing Entrance Scholarship

Awarded to a full-time student entering the first year of the Master of Nursing Program at UPEI who has at least one year successful practice in clinical nursing and is not in receipt of scholarships valued at $10,000 or greater. Preference is given to applicants in the Nurse Practitioner stream. These annual awards and scholarships were established by Dr. Margaret F. Munro, who was central to the creation of the UPEI School of Nursing beginning in 1990. Dr. Munro was the Founding Dean of the new UPEI School of Nursing from 1991 until July 1997 when she retired. The curriculum of this school was the first in Canada to be developed based directly on the principles of primary health care. In 2011, the UPEI School of Nursing welcomed its first cohort of Master in Nursing students. Dr. Munro supports the UPEI School of Nursing in many ways, providing awards and scholarships and offering guidance on program delivery. In 2016, Dr. Munro made a very generous decision to fully endow all of her six awards at UPEI.
