Supporting LPN, RN, RPN and NP education

Advancing Excellence in Nursing

Established in 1979, the Registered Nurses Foundation of BC (RNFBC) mandate is to support all nurses and nursing students in BC pursuing basic and advanced education. We do so by raising funds to distribute bursaries to qualified students. We strive to assist as many nurses and nursing students as possible each year in their educational pursuits.

Meet our recipients

Your generosity helps alleviate some of the financial burden associated with my studies, as I am having to work full-time to pay for school and keep up with the increasing cost of living. Once again, thank you for the bursary.
