PEI School of Nursing Trust: Sister Mary Gabriel Master of Nursing Awards

This award is offered to students in the UPEI Master of Nursing Program who have demonstrated need for financial assistance in order to pursue their degree. Preference will be given to entrance students. The awards were established through an amendment to the agreement between the PEI School of Nursing upon its discontinuation of operation, the Hospital and Health Services Commission, the Prince County Hospital, and the University of Prince Edward Island. The award was created based on the desire to provide lasting recognition to the contribution of the PEI School of Nursing to the development of the profession in Prince Edward Island and to promote educational opportunity for Island students at the UPEI School of Nursing. In March, 2011, the Trustees of the PEI School of Nursing Trust Fund approved changes to the dissemination of the fund to include a fund specifically in support of Master of Nursing awards at UPEI.
