With funding from McGill University, Connexions is pleased to offer the Health and Social Services Community Leadership Bursary Program. The Bursary provides financial incentive for students from the Outaouais region pursuing full-time studies in health and social services at a Québec government-recognized educational institution to return to (or stay in) their region to work and serve their communities after completing their studies.
This bursary aims to reach students with English and French language skills who are pursuing full-time studies in the area of health and social services and who have demonstrated a commitment to, and involvement in, their community.
Bursary Amounts – Two types of bursaries are offered for students studying outside the Outaouais and within the region. In both cases, bursary recipients must be willing to work in the Outaouais for one year upon graduation to serve their communities.
