Australian Rotary Health Indigenous Health Scholarship

The Australian Rotary Health Indigenous Health Scholarship is a co-operative program between Australian Rotary Health, Rotary clubs, some State or Territory Governments and the Commonwealth Government. The object of this program is to provide a scholarship which can be used to assist Indigenous students to undertake a course in a wide range of health related professions. The program aims to assist students to gain an education which will in turn enable them to use this education for the benefit of other Indigenous people in some of our remote areas, with the intention of training doctors to work amongst other Indigenous people. The scope of the scheme has grown to permit the training, firstly of nurses, and now other health related professionals. Successful students will receive $2,500 per year ($2,500 will be paid each semester).
