Providing scholarships to rural youth pursuing health studies is crucial in addressing the chronic shortage of rural healthcare workers. By incentivising and supporting young individuals from rural areas to pursue careers in healthcare, we aim to cultivate a sustainable solution to the longstanding issue of healthcare workforce deficits in rural communities. These scholarships not only empower students to access higher education but also encourage them to return to their communities as qualified healthcare professionals, thereby ensuring better healthcare access and outcomes for rural populations in the long term.

The closing date for applications is 30 September 2025.
