RCN Foundation launches spring round of education and career development grants.

The RCN Foundation has opened its spring round of education and career development grants. These grants aim to support those involved in nursing and midwifery to develop their careers and enhance the care they give to patients. Grants can be used to undertake undergraduate degrees, postgraduate qualifications and professional training.

The RCN Foundation is an independent charity, and nursing and midwifery staff do not have to be an RCN member to receive their support. The education grants are for up to £1,600 and open to nurses, midwives, nursing associates and health care support workers who will begin their study between 01 September 2023 and 01 September 2024. Closing date for applications is 31 May 2023.

Deepa Korea, RCN Foundation Director said:

“The Foundation is proud to continue offering grants and awards to nurses, midwives, nursing associates and health care support workers to develop their careers and improve the care they give to their patients. Last year alone we supported the professional development and training of 255 individuals through education grants that totalled £348,000.

Whether you are a nurse, midwife, nursing associate or a health care support worker, I strongly encourage you to take the time to see what we have available and apply for an RCN Foundation grant.”
