Funding
At CAAN we are dedicated to supporting apheresis nurses from across Canada to attend the annual CAG/CAAN conference. However, travel expenses are a factor in enabling more nurses to attend conferences. Through the generosity of our sponsors, we can help fund some of the costs to attend CAG/CAAN conferences.
There are a few options for CAAN members to choose from:
CAAN Travel Scholarship
In 2022, CAAN introduced a nursing scholarship to sponsor an apheresis nurse to attend the CAG/CAAN conference. This scholarship is awarded to offset the cost of attending CAG/CAAN and includes early bird conference fees, travel (up to $500 CAD) and two-night's stay at the conference hotel. Applications for this scholarship must include a curriculum vitae and a letter of recommendation (400-word min).
One scholarship will be awarded each year
