NMC Postgraduate Scholarships in Aged Care / Palliative Care now open - close 30th August

The Nurses Memorial Centre (NMC) in association with the Australian Legion of Ex-Servicemen and Women, is pleased to offer Scholarships for nurses undertaking postgraduate study in Aged Care or Palliative Care. The Scholarships are for one year of study in 2014 at an Australian University or other accredited higher education institution.

Priority will be given to nurses who are either ex-service personnel or a family member of someone (a close or distant relative), who has served in the Australian or an overseas military service at any time. Priority will also be given to nurses who are committed to working in a rural or regional area on completion of their study program. The purpose of these Scholarships is to increase access to postgraduate study for nurses as part of the NMC’s mission to act as “a living memorial” by advancing the nursing profession through education.

The value of these Scholarships is up to AUD $15,000 (maximum per award).
