NWT Health and Social Services Bursary Program
The Northwest Territories Health and Social Services System Bursary Program is now accepting applications for the 2026-27 academic year. The program is open to Northwest Territories students pursuing an education in a health and social services-related field.
The number of applicants supported through the program will vary from year to year, based on available funding and eligible applications.
The application period for the 2026/27 academic year closed on June 30, 2026.
If an additional summer application period (July – August) is opened, we will update this page accordingly.
Once we have initially reviewed your application, we will send a personalized email confirming that we have received your application package and asking for additional or replacement documents. If after July 15 you have not received a personal confirmation email from us, please follow up to ensure we have received your package.
