Dialogue McGill Community Network Bursary Program provides financial support to students in health and social services programs; it is designed to respond to regional and local priorities for access to health and social services in English.
CASE MCQ is funded by Dialogue McGill to administer the Bursary Program in our region.
Bursary Amounts
Bursary amounts depend on the level of study and whether the educational institution is located within or outside the student’s home region.
Within Home Region

There is no maximum number of bursaries a student can receive under the bursary program. However, for each bursary awarded, recipients commit to working in their home region, or the catchment area of the sponsoring community network, following the successful completion of their studies for a minimum of one (1) year full-time in a public health and social services institution.
