2010 Scholarships For Rural Students

The Royal College of Nursing Australia is encouraging current and future students from rural and remote areas to apply for the RCNA's 2010 Nurse Scholarship Program: Rural and Remote Undergraduate Scheme.


The scheme offers financial assistance to people who want to study nursing but find the costs too high. Successful applicants can receive up to $10,000 for full-time University study.

There are 110 scholarships available to students currently undertaking or planning to enrol in an accredited Australian University course, to become a registered nurse.

Ten of these Scholarships are reserved for Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander applicants.

There are a further 20 scholarships of $5,000 available to enrolled nurses who are studying part-time to upgrade their qualification to status of registered nurse.

Applications close 13 July.
