PSNO Conference Bursary 

The PSNO Conference Bursary sponsors PSWs who may not have the opportunity to attend -- this could include PSWs who work in private care, students, or PSWs who employers are unable to sponsor their attendance. 

Each year, the sponsoring organization chooses an area of interest to help focus the bursary. This year, our sponsor Life and Death Matters is specifically looking for applicants who are interested in Palliative Care. Life and Death Matters has generously offered to support up to 4 PSW registrations. 

Applications will be accepted until Friday, September 25th. Recipients will be randomly selected from all qualified candidates and notified by the end of day on September 30th. For more information or to apply, please click here
