https://paramedics.org/storage/news/logo.jpg

Through the Indigenous Health Scholarships, Australian Rotary Health is supporting the next generation of Indigenous health care providers to achieve an education that will help them assist their communities.

Each student enrolled in the program is provided with a $5,000 scholarship. The Indigenous Health Scholarship program is a collaborative project between Australian Rotary Health, participating Rotary Clubs, and the State and Commonwealth Governments.

Objectives:

• To provide a scholarship which can be used to assist Indigenous students to undertake a course in a wide range of health related professions

• 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 among other Indigenous people, but the scope of the scheme has enlarged to permit the training, firstly of nurses, and now other health-related professions.

Eligibility:

To be eligible for the scholarship applicants must:

• Be of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander origin or both. For the purposes of this application, an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander is someone who identifies as being of Australian Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander origin and is accepted as such by the community in which he or she has lived. Applicants will be asked to provide a letter from an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander organisation or community supporting their claim;

• Be undertaking and enrolled in an appropriate approved medical or health-related degree.

Applications open on Monday December 9 and close on 14 February 2025.
