In addition to providing free tuition,the funding will cover the cost of:

Eligible programs, institutions and regions for the 2023–2024 academic year will be available for select nursing, paramedic and medical laboratory technology/medical laboratory science at the diploma, advanced diploma, undergraduate, masters and post-graduate levels.
To receive this grant, you need to fulfill a service commitment. This means you are required to work in the region where you studied for a minimum of six months for every year of study funded by this grant.
