Scholarships and bursaries
The RCN supports a number of scholarships and bursaries to provide professional development opportunities for all nursing roles across the health and social care workforce
As a nursing professional, you can apply for RCN bursaries, RCN Foundation bursaries and other awards to fund your professional development.
It can be difficult to get funding from your employer to do continuing professional development but there are other ways that you can get finance. Some Universities offer bursaries and grants that are exclusive to their courses. It is worth checking out their websites and talking to the admissions team for clarification.
The following list is a snapshot of what is currently available.
