The RPAP also offers two financial support initiatives to medical students: the Rural Medical School Award and the John N. Hnatuik Rural Medical Student Bursary. The Bursary is offered through the RPAP and jointly funded by Alberta Health and Wellness and Alberta Advanced Education and Technology.

These two initiatives aim to encourage students who come from a designated rural area to pursue a career in rural medicine by reducing their financial burden.

The RPAP John N. Hnatuik Rural Medical Student Bursary is described on its web page.
