Aged Care Nursing Scholarship Scheme opens

Royal College of Nursing Australia (RCNA) has announced the opening of the Aged Care Nursing Scholarship Scheme. The Scheme is an Australian Government initiative that is administered by RCNA. 

Scholarships are available for undergraduate and postgraduate applicants with a focus on aged care nursing.

Undergraduate scholarships are open to applicants with a demonstrated commitment to aged care who wish to study undergraduate nursing at an Australian university. These scholarships are valued at up to $5,000 per semester to a maximum of $30,000 per applicant.

Postgraduate/Continuing Education scholarships are available to Registered/Division 1 nurses with a current practising certificate who are already working in aged care and who wish to undertake further study in this specialty. These scholarships are valued at up to $10,000 per applicant.

Registered nurses who do not have a current practising certificate may also apply if they intend to undertake a re-entry course, or if they can demonstrate their eligibility to re-register. 

Applications for the undergraduate scheme close at 5pm on Friday, 22 August 2008. 

Applications for the postgraduate scheme close at 5pm on Friday, 19 September 2008.
