Application Process
Individuals interested in applying must create a profile on our scholarship application portal. Once your profile is created, you will need to complete our eligibility quiz and then submit an application for the student award.
Applications will be made available during our scholarship intake season, every spring.
Please note that award amounts vary year by year.
- A resident of the Northwest Territories, Yukon, or Nunavut for at least the last 2 consecutive years
- Pursuing post-secondary studies in a health-related field and plan to return to the North once your studies have concluded. Applicants must be pursuing or already registered to attend a University, College or Technical Institute (e.g. SAIT) or an accredited program leading to a Degree or Diploma in a health-related field.
All of our scholarship application forms and additional materials need to be submitted on our scholarship application portal.
- You will complete a questionnaire describing your goals, your dedication to your field of study, your involvement in the community, etc.
You must be an eligible resident to apply for a scholarship.
As such, YKCF requires you to make a residency declaration and have a witness sign off.
However, you do not need to print out any forms!
Each residency declaration is a one-click question embedded within the application process.
You just need to provide the email address of your residency witness, and they will be emailed directly.
You can only apply through our online application portal.
