2015 PSNO Bursary Survey

The PSNO PSW Conference Bursary sponsors PSWs who may not have the opportunity to attend the PSNO PSW Conference. This could include PSWs who work in private care, students or PSWs who employers are unable to sponsor their attendance. This Bursary helps PSWs advance their knowledge by attending workshops and plenaries geared towards their professional development.

Each year, the sponsoring organization(s) will choose an area of interest to help focus the bursary. This year, our sponsor Life and Death Matters is specifically looking for applicants who are interested in Palliative Care. Life and Death Matters has generously offered to support up to 4 PSWs registrations* to the 2015 PSNO Annual Conference.
*Bursary is for the $249 PSNO PSW Conference registration fee only. Bursary recipients are responsible for their own transportation, accommodation and/or expenses.

Those wishing to apply should complete the application form below, taking care to complete all questions. Applications will be accepted until Friday, September 25th. Four (4) recipients will be randomly selected from all qualified candidates and notified by the end of day on September 30th.
