                    Northern Alberta Development Council bursary

                    Bonnyville Health Centre has partnered with the Northern Alberta Development Council (NADC) to provide a bursary of up to $7,000 for nursing students entering their final year of school.

                    Working at the Bonnyville Health Centre, students may be eligible to have a portion of their student loans forgiven through the Canada Student Loan Forgiveness Program.

                    Eligibility requirements

                    • Be enrolled in a full-time registered nursing program in Alberta
                    • Be in your final year of studies
                    • Have lived in Alberta for at least one year before applying
                    • Be a Canadian citizen or Permanent Resident
                    • Agree to work at the Bonnyville Health Centre as a registered nurse after graduation
                    • Be willing to sign a return service agreement
                    • Not be a current employee of Covenant Health

                    Return of service agreements

                    Those selected to receive a bursary will be required to work at the Bonnyville Health Centre for a minimum period of time — one month (or the equivalent number of hours) for each $500 of bursary support. For example, if your total bursary amount is $3,500, you would need to work seven months or the equivalent in part-time or casual hours.

                    The return service agreements for Covenant Health and NADC are served concurrently, but are separate from any other return service agreements with Covenant Health or NADC.

                    Recipients who do not meet the terms of the agreements will have to repay a portion of the bursary (or bursaries).

                    How to apply

                    1. Complete the NADC Bursary Partnership Program student application form and save a copy.
                    2. Upload the application form along with a copy of your resume to the Covenant Health NADC Bursary portal.

                    Applications are open from September 15 to October 10, 2025. Late applications will not be considered.

                    Successful applicants

                    We will e-mail successful applicants by mid-November. We will ask you to complete and sign a Covenant Health return for service agreement and confirm that you are eligible for the Covenant Health portion of the bursary.

                    NADC review

                    Successful applicants agree to have their personal information shared between Covenant Health, the NADC and Alberta Advanced Education. The NADC shares required information with Alberta Advanced Education to complete their eligibility review.

                    If you are eligible, Alberta Advanced Education will give you the NADC return service agreement.

                    Payments

                    Covenant Health and Alberta Advanced Education will issue separate payments. You will receive them once the NADC return service agreement has been signed and we have confirmed your program enrollment.

                    The amount of support and your return of service agreement may change if your eligibility changes before you start working at Bonnyville Health Centre. In this case you may need to sign a new agreement with Covenant Health and/or the NADC.

                    Apply now

                    Applications are open until 11:59 p.m. of October 10, 2025.

                    We acknowledge that what we refer to as Alberta is the traditional ancestral territory of a diversity of Indigenous peoples and home to Treaty 6, 7 and 8. We recognize and give thanks to the many First Nations, Métis and Inuit who have lived in and cared for these lands for generations, all who continue to grace these lands and all future generations. We make this acknowledgement as an act of reconciliation and gratitude.
