Veterinary Student Bursary

Alberta residents who are Canadian citizens, permanent residents, or protected persons enrolled in (or applying to) a full-time, four-year Doctor of Veterinary Medicine program with a large-animal or large-and-small-animal focus may apply for this return-of-service bursary. The school and program must be designated for provincial funding, and applicants must not be in default on a provincial student loan.

Support is available for all four years. The $7,000 option requires living and working in northern Alberta for one year per bursary year received. A partnership option can provide up to $14,000 per year ($7,000 from the Northern Alberta Development Bursary program plus $7,000 from a sponsor), with return-of-service in the sponsor's specified program area. Students may receive only one of the Northern Alberta Development Bursary, First Nations, Métis and Inuit Bursary, or Bursary Partnership Program types per academic year.

Apply through the Northern Alberta Development Bursary portal (applications typically open January 2 and close May 15 each year).
