Scholarship Terms and Conditions for Further Study
The NZWCS scholarships are open to current Full or Corporate Members only. Commercial Members are not eligible for these scholarships.
You must
- Have been a member for a minimum of one year at the time of application.
- Have the support of your manager to attend the conference.
- Not have been a recipient of a NZWCS Scholarship within the last 24 months.
- The academic scholarships can be applied for two months before the start of the course. The closing date will be one month before the start of the course.
- Show that you are currently employed in an area where they conduct wound care as part of their role or are involved in relevant wound education.
- Provide a report to the NZWCS National Committee detailing the study programme or event and the benefits and knowledge gained from it. These reports may be published in the NZWCS newsletter, Tissue Issue, and/or on the NZWCS website.
The scholarship may be held concurrently with another scholarship or bursary and is non-taxable in New Zealand.
The scholarships will be tenable for one year and can only be applied for in the 12 months following the announcement of scholarship recipients.
The scholarship recipient will be expected to allow media cover of their receipt of the award.
Each award will be made on merit, taking into consideration the nature of the planned study, how the participant intends to relate it to their own work, as well as the applicant's academic merit and participation in the profession.
Applications are to be completed using the online survey which you can find when logged in on the Scholarships Further Study page, see the “Further Study Scholarship Online Application Form” box. This information is then sent to the NZWCS Administrator, who will coordinate a blind peer review by representatives from the NZWCS National Committee or Education Advisory Group. In any year, this group may refrain from making a recommendation if no suitable applicants are found. In the case of disagreement, the application will be reviewed by two other Committee members. The Committee’s decision is final.
