The Lions Nurses' Scholarship Information

The concept of establishing a fund for the provision of scholarships for registered nurses in NSW and the ACT to undertake advanced studies in Australia, or more particularly, overseas, originated from a group of members of the Manly Lions Club. In 1972, following discussions with representatives of various nursing organisations, it was decided that such a fund, to be known as the Nurses Scholarship Foundation, be created.

All nurses who meet the criteria below, are eligible to apply for scholarships awarded by the Lions Nurses' Scholarship Foundation:

1. Are currently registered with the NSW Nurses Registration Board or the Nurses Board of the ACT and working within the nursing profession in NSW or the ACT.

2. Have a minimum of three years' experience within the nursing profession since initial registration and prior to making application, the last twelve months of which must have been spent in employment in NSW or the ACT.

Lions Nurses' Scholarships are available under the following categories:

Category A. Scholarships for a study tour or conference, either in Australia or overseas, not necessarily leading to an award or an additional formal qualification.
Category B. Scholarships for extended study leading to the award of a formal qualification at a recognised tertiary institution in Australia or overseas.

Completed applications must be sent to:
