Nursing and Midwifery Scholarships

The Northern Territory Health is offering scholarships to NT Health nurses and midwives who are completing post-registration studies. The scholarships are available to nurses and midwives continuously employed by NT Health for two years or more in a nursing or midwifery position greater than 0.5 Full Time Employee (FTE).

The aim of the scholarships is to provide NT Health nurses and midwives with financial assistance to complete a course of study leading to an academic qualification. Scholarships are awarded through a competitive selection process and not all applicants will be awarded a scholarship. The scholarship will not cover all costs associated with a course of study.

The 2021 Nursing and Midwifery Scholarships will open soon.
