NB extends EMT, paramedic bursary program

The Government of New Brunswick has announced that it is extending its tuition bursary pilot program for students and graduates of six approved emergency medical technician and paramedic programs. The program has been expanded from students or graduates who started their studies prior to March 31, 2026, to include those who begin their studies after this date. As a part of the program, recipients must agree to work for Ambulance New Brunswick after graduation. Paramedic Association of New Brunswick Treasurer Courtney Croucher-Fillmore called the announcement a “call to action” to those interested in a paramedicine career, saying that “there has never been a better time to be part of the future of paramedicine.”
