Laval University has announced the opening of the Micheline-Grondin Scholarship (RN) in Nursing, a high-value university scholarship designed to support nursing students transitioning from college-level training to a full bachelor’s degree. This opportunity is specifically aimed at students entering the DEC-BAC pathway and will be available for applicants planning to join the Fall 2026 intake, covering the 2026–2027 academic cycle.
What Type of Opportunity Is This and Who Is It For?
The Micheline-Grondin Scholarship is a merit- and need-based university scholarship that supports students with a college diploma in nursing who wish to pursue university studies in nursing sciences. It is open to Canadian citizens, permanent residents, and international students who are progressing from a college diploma (DEC) into the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (DEC-BAC program) at Université Laval. The scholarship is intended to reduce financial barriers, promote academic perseverance, and strengthen the future nursing workforce.
Scholarship Value and What It Covers?
This scholarship offers a single award of CAD 15,000, making it one of the more substantial funding opportunities available to nursing students at the undergraduate level. The funding is paid in six installments, with one payment issued per academic session, provided the recipient maintains full-time student status throughout their studies. The scholarship is offered once every two years, adding to its competitiveness and value.
Eligibility Check: Who Can Apply?
Applicants are generally eligible if they are Canadian citizens, permanent residents, or international students and are enrolled in, or completing, a college diploma in nursing. At the time of application, candidates must have submitted a new application for admission to the Bachelor of Science in Nursing through the DEC-BAC program at Université Laval for the Fall 2026 session. Only students enrolled in the DEC-BAC pathway are considered.
How Candidates Are Evaluated?
Selection is based primarily on the applicant’s financial situation, which accounts for half of the evaluation. Motivation to pursue university-level nursing studies plays a significant role, followed by academic performance at the college level. This balanced assessment ensures that both need and potential are carefully considered.
Application Deadline: The last date to apply for the Micheline-Grondin Scholarship (RN) in Nursing offered by Université Laval is January 10, 2026.
