Scholarships

The Band Trust Research Scholarships enable nurses and midwives to undertake a course in research methods, an evidence-based practice module or a research-based component of a graduate programme or a research dissertation as part of a degree course. These are the only COURSES funded by the Foundation. Each Scholar writes a report and these are publicised widely, borrowed and copied freely, thus Scholars share the knowledge they gain with many others.

When Should One Apply For A Scholarship?
Information with dates on when to apply is available on this website under "HOW TO APPLY" button at the top of this page.

Does The Foundation Fund Courses?
NO... except those mentioned above.

Where Does The Money Come From?
The Foundation raises funds from annual appeals, Gift Aid Declarations, and donations both from individuals and from companies. Many of the Foundation’s most generous supporters have been giving financial support over a long period of time. The Foundation is greatly indebted to them.

A number of our Scholarships are individually and generously sponsored and bear the name of the sponsoring organisation.

What Are The Advantages Of A Florence Nightingale Foundation Scholarship?
All the Scholars say how much the award has helped them develop, both personally and professionally. The practice and service delivery of nursing and midwifery are improved for the benefit of patients and the community.
