Health Program Bursaries – Student Recruitment and Retention Bursary

This bursary has been developed through the Ministry of Health's Health Human Resource Strategy and is designed to attract students to priority health education programs and help fill key health workforce gaps across British Columbia. The Student Recruitment and Retention Bursary is available to students enrolled in eligible health programs at public B.C. post-secondary institutions. The bursary provides $2,000 per recipient per program year and is only awarded once in a 12-month period. Students are automatically assessed by their post-secondary institutions' student financial aid office, and eligible students receive a tuition credit applied directly to their account without needing to submit an application.
