Nursing Education and Research Foundation (NERF) Scholarships and Grants

The Nursing Education and Research Foundation was set up in 1968.

Its origins can be traced back to a memorial fund established to commemorate the life and work of Flora J Cameron OBE (former Director, Division of Nursing) who died in 1966. At that time money was donated by New Zealand nurses as a memorial to Flora Cameron and so the New Zealand Nurses Association (now amalgamated and called the New Zealand Nurses Organisation) decided to establish a larger and more permanent fund. A major nation-wide fundraising campaign was conducted, further capital was raised and the Nursing Education and Research Foundation (NERF) was established.

The aim of NERF scholarships is to provide New Zealand nurses with travel grants and scholarships to enhance opportunities for education, professional development and research.

NERF supports nurses and midwives and students of nursing or midwifery with grants and scholarships for text books, travel, study, research, special projects, conferences and/or emergencies.

This is a one-stop-shop for Taranaki people looking for scholarships. These scholarships range from those which have very specific criteria for Taranaki people, to ones that are generally available to anyone in New Zealand.

Scholarships can ease the financial burden for some students and possibly result in stronger relationships with employers who may take you on once you have finished training.

There are heaps of opportunities….so why not apply and see how you go.

You can search for scholarships by choosing the type of industry you would like to work in, or click general to view the non-specific ones.
