Our global scholarships are for senior nurses and midwives who are looking to take the exciting next step to develop their leadership abilities.
By providing a unique, quality leadership experience, the FNF Global Leadership Scholarships will provide senior global nurses and midwives with the opportunity to meet the challenges of leading modern workforces and health systems.
FNF Global Leadership Scholarships will develop their authentic individual leadership style; learning from a global mentor whilst implementing a project to improve health services in their own nation and being exposed to senior policy and government level decision makers.
This year we are delighted to announce the Dame Yvonne Moores Global Leadership Scholarship as the legacy of our outgoing Chair. This opportunity will fund the scholarship place of a senior nursing or midwifery leader from a low or low-middle income country; to support them in developing and strengthening the nursing and midwifery voice in their nation.
If you would like to be considered for this scholarship please indicate this on your application form.
Our Global Leadership Scholarships are for nurses and midwives working at a senior level.
Examples include the most senior nurse or midwife in an organisation or nation with strategic responsibility for the nursing and midwifery workforces.
