Rural nursing and midwifery undergraduate scholarships

As part of the application process, applicants must complete an online application form and provide:

• a personal essay (250-500 words) responding to the question Why do you wish to become a nurse or midwife and what could you offer your own rural community?
• a letter of support written by a person who knows you, which reflects your rural background, your character and desire to practice nursing or midwifery in a rural setting.
  This letter cannot be completed by a family member. An appropriate person could be a:
  • recent employer
  • high school principal or senior teacher
  • health professional or minister of religion
  • member of a community or sporting organisation you are involved in, such as a committee member, sporting coach or volunteer leader.
• official confirmation of your enrolment in an Australian undergraduate nursing or midwifery course in 2024, the includes:
  • your name
  • program of study
  • year of study
  • list of subjects enrolled in 2024.
  If your enrolment confirmation isn't available when you apply, please submit a brief letter showing your intention to enrol and forward your enrolment confirmation when received to MOH-NScholar@health.nsw.gov.au. Enrolment confirmation (post receipt of your application) must be provided by 1 March 2024. Generic information about course subjects will not be accepted, and we may ask for extra information.

Tips

Write the essay in a Word document before you start your online application. Save it to your hard drive and then attach as a separate Word document as instructed in the online application form.

Your letter of support and confirmation of enrolment should be in PDF format.

You can save an incomplete application and return to it later, but you need to submit your application to be considered. When your application is submitted you'll receive a confirmation email. Once your application has been submitted, you can't change your application.
