Studying Post-Graduate Nursing? Apply For The NTEU Joan Hardy Scholarship Today!
The National Tertiary Education Union (NTEU) is once again offering The Joan Hardy Scholarship for students studying nursing.
The Joan Hardy Scholarship is available for any student undertaking a study of nurses, nursing culture or practices, or historical aspects of nursing as a lay or professional practice. The student need not therefore be or have been a nurse and can be undertaking the study in disciplines/schools other than nursing.
A sum of $5000 will be paid in two installments; half on the awarding of the Scholarship and the remainder on evidence of submission of the thesis. Applicants must be currently enrolled in an academic award of an Australian public university, and expect to submit the thesis within one year of being awarded the Scholarship.
The application deadline is Friday 26 July 2019. A decision will be made in late August 2019. Read more about the 2018 scholarship winner, Jessica Taranto, here.
