NL Health Services Accepting Applications for Scholarships
NL Health Services is now accepting applications across the province for scholarships available to staff, dependants of staff within NL Health Services, and other eligible graduate or post-graduate students.
“NL Health Services and our supporting partners are pleased to offer more than $52,000 in scholarships to health-care professionals across the province,” said David Diamond, Chief Executive Officer. “With technology and processes changing at a rapid pace, it is important to offer ongoing learning and professional development opportunities to support our vision: Health and Well-Being. Every Person. Every Community.”
The provincial health authority brings together four regional health authorities – Eastern Health, Central Health, Western Health, Labrador-Grenfell Health – and the Newfoundland and Labrador Centre for Health Information. During our first year of operation, NL Health Services continue to offer a variety of scholarship opportunities to support the pursuit of higher education and to advance health-care practice and knowledge in Newfoundland and Labrador.
There are more than 45 scholarships available, ranging from $500 to $6,500. NL Health Services is offering 36 scholarships across the province to eligible staff and dependants of staff and two scholarships to eligible graduate or post-graduate students pursuing studies with a particular focus on quality processes, ethics, or disclosure practices in health care. Groups and/or organizations that support NL Health Services, including the Health Care Foundation, St. Clare’s Mercy Hospital Auxiliary, the Janeway Children’s Health and Rehabilitation Centre Auxiliary, and the Sister Mary Fabian Hennebury Scholarship Fund, are offering a total of eight scholarships to eligible staff and dependant of staff within the Eastern urban and rural zones.
“We are proud of our people and recognize their commitment and contributions to delivering high quality and safe health services,” said Debbie Molloy, Vice President, Human Resources. “We value the importance of ongoing training and educational opportunities that help promote learning and growth throughout their career.”
NL Health Services scholarships are awarded upon merit. The scholarship review team will assess all applications and select the scholarship recipients based on established criteria.
