Education Bursaries for Residents & Fellows

A limited number of education bursaries are available for CDA Residents and Fellow Associates interested in attending the 2026 CDA Annual Conference in Calgary, June 24-27.

If you are a CDA Resident or Fellow Associate, we invite you to apply online for the education bursary.

Priority consideration will be given to CDA Resident Associates in postgraduate years three to five (PGY-3, PGY-4, PGY-5), and additional efforts will be made to foster diversity, equity, and regional balance across delegate representation. Up to $750 may be extended to selected applicants.

Applications will be reviewed in batches of submissions received by the following dates:

  • Batch 1: Wednesday, March 19, 2026
  • Batch 2 (if funds remain available): Wednesday, April 8, 2026
  • Batch 3 (if funds remain available): Wednesday, April 22, 2026

Unless otherwise specified, applicants can anticipate decision communications closer to or soon after their batch’s deadline. Approved funding will be payable to successful applicants following verified in-person participation at this year’s CDA Annual Conference.


Please note that a limited number of education bursaries are available for Residents and Fellows attending the 2026 CDA Annual Conference. While we encourage all eligible applicants to apply, funding is limited and cannot be guaranteed.
