A helping hand

There are a number of private and government scholarships on offer.

Finances – or lack-there-of – weighs heavily on whether people will choose to further their education. This is why scholarships are so appealing.

There are a number of private and government scholarships on offer, with applications open at various times through the year. To avoid missing out, it’s important to keep your eyes open.

The RCNA is one of the biggest federal government scholarship fund administrators in the country. This includes the Nursing and Allied Health Scholarship and Support Scheme: Postgraduate, supporting nurses and midwives to undertake postgraduate studies at an Australian university or registered training organisation.

While these have closed for this year, it may be a good idea to make a note to check back on the RCNA website for the next round.
