MSc Leading Transformation in Health and Social Care Scholarship

The MSc Leading Transformation in Health and Social Care Scholarship is a funding opportunity offered by the Scottish Government through Robert Gordon University. Twelve scholarships are available to students employed by NHS Scotland or a Health and Social Care Partnership in Scotland. Each scholarship provides a 50% discount on course fees for the MSc Leading Transformation in Health and Social Care program. This scholarship is specifically designed to support healthcare professionals working within NHS Scotland, including those employed by NHS Boards, Integrated Joint Boards, Health and Social Care Partnerships, or NHS Facilities Scotland. The program was developed in response to an NHS skills-shortage and is designed for healthcare professionals looking to advance their careers or change direction within the healthcare sector. Applicants must first receive an unconditional offer for the full MSc program before applying for the scholarship. The application requires a statement of no more than 1000 words explaining why they are applying, how they will benefit, how NHS Scotland will benefit, and strategies for managing work-life-study balance. The scholarship is awarded based on understanding of strategic service planning, plans to utilize knowledge for NHS benefit, and strategies for managing multiple commitments. The scholarship is awarded as a discount on fees and comes with specific conditions, including maintaining employment with NHS Scotland throughout the program and meeting academic standards. Recipients must accept the offer within three weeks of notification.
