accepted. Please encourage interested parties to forward completed
application forms as soon as possible. Thank you!

Alberta Health Services (AHS) is proud to expand its partnership with the
Northern Alberta Development Council (NADC) Joint Bursary Partnership
Program by offering a unique bursary opportunity specifically for Aboriginal
students looking to advance their education and work life.

This bursary partnership program matches between $1,000 and $3,000 per
student – to a total of $6,000 per year. The program is intended to assist
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.

Please take the opportunity to share this information with your students and
colleagues. Visit our <http://www.albertahealthservices.ca/5723.asp>
website for application forms and details. .
