There is no guarantee that any member will receive funding.
For courses or conference attendance, funds are provided as reimbursement only after the educational session has been completed. The good news however, is that almost all requests do in fact receive funding.
Currently the maximum amount any member may receive is $1,000.00 in any calendar year for courses and $1,000.00 in each two calendar years for conference attendance.
Course reimbursement is for tuition only; books and other expenses are not covered by the fund.
Conference reimbursement is for the registration fee and, if the conference is not in Winnipeg, the most economical mode of transportation. Hotel costs, meals and other expenses are not covered by the fund.
Members are also eligible for $300.00 (per nurse per lifetime) for computer courses. Original receipts are required for submission to the committee.
Bursaries are awarded for Local 10 members who are pursuing their education on a full-time basis. The fund assists members obtain post diploma certificates and degrees. Applicants may apply at any time contingent on proof of acceptance in to the program.
