Braemar Charitable Trust Scholarship in Nursing

The Braemar Charitable Trust Scholarship in Nursing was established in 2021 through the generous donation of the Braemar Charitable Trust. The Trust aims to improve health outcomes for Waikato communities. In particular, the Trust strives to help those who face challenges accessing health services and, as a result, suffer poorer health and health outcomes. The Trust has five key pillars to achieve this goal, including ownership of Braemar Hospital; investing in medical research; developing medical knowledge; investing in partnerships to improve health outcomes and providing free or subsidised medical care at Braemar Hospital for eligible patients. One $10,000 Scholarship will be awarded each year (2022-2023) to a student in their second year of the Bachelor of Nursing who meets the Purpose and Eligibility criteria.

For domestic students enrolled in the second year of a Bachelor of Nursing at UoW who come from populations, communities and/or regions typically under-represented in nursing who might not otherwise be able to access education. It is specifically for those who reside in the Waikato DHB region and intend to work in healthcare in the wider Waikato DHB region upon graduation.
