Townsville Hospital & Health Service Indigenous Academic Merit Scholarship

The Townsville Hospital and Health Service indigenous academic merit scholarship was inaugurated in 2018 by the Townsville Hospital and Health Service (THHS). The academic merit scholarship is a combined strategy of the University to increase progression and completion rates for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students in the JCU Bachelor of Nursing Science and the Bachelor of Nursing Science ‐ Bachelor of Midwifery programs. This scholarship supports full-time Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students from the Townsville region who are enrolled in nursing or nursing-midwifery programs at James Cook University. Three scholarships are offered providing $12,000 over 2 years to students who demonstrate academic merit with a minimum GPA of 4.0 and commitment to their nursing studies.
