The RCN Foundation has opened its annual Autumn round of education and career development grants. These grants aim to support those involved in nursing and midwifery to develop professional, upskill themselves, 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 that supports nursing and midwifery staff, and staff do not have to be an RCN member to receive this support. The maximum amount for education grants available for continuous professional development is up to £1,600 and for student nurses it is £2,500. Applications are welcome from nurses, midwives, nursing associates, maternity assistants, healthcare support workers, and student nurses, who will begin their study between 1 January to 31 December 2025. The closing date for applications is 18 October 2024.
If you are interested in applying for a grant from the RCN Foundation you must first make sure that your line manager is in agreement and supports your request before you submit an application.
