National Nursing Week (May 12-18) is a time to recognize the vital contributions nurses make to our healthcare system and to support the next generation of nursing professionals.
Langara’s Nursing Program enrolls approximately 450 students per term and has graduated more than 4,000 student nurses since it began. Our graduates are known for their clinical expertise, critical thinking skills, and adaptability, making a lasting impact on healthcare across Canada.
Nursing is a demanding field, and our students require focused and committed learning and preparation time -- which does not easily allow for work outside of being a student. Financial support through scholarships and bursaries are critical in allowing our students to pursue their career goals in becoming a Registered Nurse.

Unfortunately, many aspiring nurses face financial barriers that make pursuing their education challenging. Scholarships provide crucial support, allowing students to focus on their studies, while easing the stress of financial hardship.
Thank you for your generosity, kindness and belief in the potential of students like me. Your support is not only changing lives but also shaping the future of years to come. I am committed to using my education to give back and make a positive difference, just as you have done for me.

How you can help
Establishing an award or supporting an existing scholarship fund for nursing students is one way for donors to help future nurses start and finish their degree with reduced financial strain and increased focus on their career.
Annual Award
Annual scholarships of $4,500 per student over three years can significantly reduce student debt and increase retention in the profession.
Endowment
An endowment is a wonderful way to ensure your award exists in perpetuity, assisting students now and for generations to come. With a minimum contribution of $25,000, an award may be named in your honour or for a family member, friend, organization or colleague.
Financial support also plays a significant role in our success. As a recipient of bursaries, I’ve been able to dedicate more time to studying instead of working, which has been crucial for my growth as a student. Your generosity allows us to focus on our learning and grow professionally in our careers. Thank you for investing in the future of healthcare.
