We are delighted to share that our prestigious Scholarships are now open for applications for the 2025-26 cohort.

Florence Nightingale Foundation’s Leadership Scholarships are a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to develop your nursing or midwifery career, whilst improving clinical and health outcomes. They are open to nurses and midwives working at NHS Agenda for Change (or equivalent) band 7 and above.

FNF Scholars follow an in-depth personal development plan with experiential learning and individual assessments throughout. They also have an experienced mentor and access to fellow Scholars for support.

Whether you are looking for the next step, investigating the opportunity to become a future director, aspiring to engage more with the executive board, have dreams of engaging in a systems leadership role, or have reached a senior position and are looking to stretch and develop yourself beyond your previous expectations, this opportunity is perfect.

FNF gave me the headspace and time to step back and reflect on myself as a leader and to influence and inspire others. As a result of the Scholarship, I was approached about publishing my project in the Nursing Management Journal. This is a CPD article, it goes step by step into what to do, and broadened out the work, showing that it can be used for any group of staff.
