The Tuition Support Program for Nurses is part of the government's commitment to provide more families with access to primary health care and to support the recruitment and retention of nurses in rural and remote areas across the province.

The Tuition Support Program for Nurses (TSPN) offers tuition reimbursement to recent nursing graduates from rural and remote communities who are new College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO) registrants and who choose to do a return-of-service (ROS) in an eligible underserviced community.

The program is open to nurse practitioner, registered nurse and registered practical nurse graduates who apply within one year of having graduated from a Canadian university or college.

The Nursing Graduate Guarantee (NGG) program is designed to support Registered Nurses and Registered Practical Nurses who are within 12 months of registering with the College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO) by providing them with a full-time employment opportunity.

The NGG program supports new nurses as they transition to either full-time employment or the equivalent of full-time hours. The program helps them develop the skills required to deliver safe, high quality, patient-centred care in practice. Participating NGG employers are expected to transition new nurses into full-time employment or the equivalent of full-time hours within 1 year of starting the NGG program.

New nurses can start the NGG program between April 1 and December 31 of the applicable fiscal year. The NGG online portal will be closed between December 15 and March 31 to ensure that new nurses have the opportunity to complete the 12-week transition period before March 31. This will also enable employers to spend NGG program funds within the fiscal year in compliance with the Transfer Payment Directive.
