Bursaries
This section provides information on bursaries and application forms.
The BC History of Nursing Society welcomes student members (see Membership) and tries to provide additional resources directed to students.
Students who are members of the BC History of Nursing Society and who are pursuing studies in historical aspects of nursing are eligible for financial assistance from the Society. The purpose of the bursary funding is to encourage undergraduate and graduate students to undertake a project or study to add to the rich heritage of nursing history. Students may join the Society upon application for this bursary.
Bursaries may be awarded twice yearly to students doing projects in The history of nursing.
The study can be:
- A written essay
- Preparation of nursing biographies
- Collection and documentation of oral histories of nurses
- Preparation of historical nursing materials for display and educational purposes
- Other historical research or projects involving nursing

Successful applicants are expected to present some aspect of their work to the BCHNS.
Application forms are to be submitted by March 31 and November 30. The Bursary Committee will review the applications and forward recommendations to the BC History of Nursing Society Board.
