The Ministry of Health will continue to offer and manage the process for bursaries in the area of clinical placements and applications for nurse educators/faculty bursaries. 

Please note the following changes as of May 1, 2012:

In an effort to enhance the recruitment and retention of needed health professions to rural and remote parts of the province and to link prospective students to public employers sooner, the following changes are being made to the Saskatchewan Health Bursary Program: 

• Each of the Regional Health Authorities (RHAs) and the Saskatchewan Cancer Agency (SCA) (public employers) has received a dedicated budget to engage in health professions return-in-service bursaries with Saskatchewan residents.
• Interested students are asked to check the individual RHA websites for additional details and make applications directly to the RHA/SCA.  Should applicants be successful in receiving a return-in-service bursary from a prospective employer, they can expect to sign a return-in-service agreement with that employer.

If you have any questions about these changes, please call the bursary inquiry line at (306) 798-0938.  Due to the volume of calls, please allow two business days for a response.
