NACCHO Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Pharmacist Scholarship
Applications now open
NACCHO is excited to announce the inaugural NACCHO Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Pharmacist Scholarship* which provides subsidy and support for two full-time equivalent prospective or current Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander pharmacy students.
The scholarship program will run for two years and aims to build the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander pharmacist workforce and to raise the profile of the beneficial role that pharmacy and pharmacists can play in supporting appropriate and culturally safe care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Each recipient will receive up to $10,000 per annum to contribute to university expenses. Successful recipients may re-apply for the second year. The scholarship also includes support and mentorship from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health professionals and organisations to ensure ongoing integration and connection with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community controlled health sector.
