with recruiting hard-to-fill positions and meeting future workforce demands
in northern Alberta.
Eligible applicants must be enrolled in a health care related program of
study at an accredited post-secondary institution, and have a desire to live
and work in northern Alberta for a guaranteed Return of Service – once they
have completed their training.
To apply, students must be of First Nation, Métis or Inuit heritage and able
to provide proof of status upon acceptance of the award.
