In recognition of the legacy of healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic, CIBC has invested $500,000 over two academic years (2020/2021 and 2021/2022) in the education of tomorrow’s healthcare professionals. The CIBC Future Heroes Bursary Program will inspire and support the next generation in their ambition of having a career in healthcare. Each bursary will be valued at $2,500 CAD and is available for a one-year award.

Three bursaries will be available to full-time UPEI students entering into their first year of the first degree in a relevant health program ex: Health Sciences, Nursing, Paramedic Care, etc. in the 2021/2022 academic year. Students must be Canadian citizens or permanent residents; have a minimum cumulative average of 70% (or equivalent) over the last three terms of available marks.
