Australian Government Aged Care Nursing Scholarships

The Aged Care Nursing Scholarship Scheme is an Australian Government initiative aimed at encouraging more people to enter aged care nursing and increasing the skills of nurses working in the aged care sector particularly in rural and regional Australia. As part of this Scheme, undergraduate scholarships are available to people who wish to undertake undergraduate nursing education at an Australian university and can demonstrate a commitment to aged care. The Scheme provides financial assistance of up to $5,000 per semester, to a maximum of $30,000 per applicant, during their nursing studies. Preference is given to applicants living and working in regional, rural and remote areas, although applicants living in metropolitan areas with an aged care background may apply. The Scheme provides a financial contribution to assist in meeting costs incurred while studying undergraduate nursing.
