    Students are eligible to receive up to $8,000 tuition relief during the first two years of their program.

    Government has announced a new tuition relief program at select campuses to help attract nurses. For students entering nursing in September, the new program will help attract interest in nursing and support students through tuition assistance as early as entry. This initiative includes more than $2 million over a two-year period to students who are starting the first year of nursing. Students are eligible to receive up to $8,000 tuition relief during the first two years of their program. This funding will be provided to the post-secondary education institutions and will help to further reduce tuition costs for nursing students.
