Rural Women New Zealand (RWNZ) and Access Community Health have announced that this year they will be offering a scholarship of $3000 to a health worker who wishes to further their studies in the health and/or disability fields.
"We want to encourage people to pursue studies in health professions, and to miss out on doing so due to financial reasons would be a real shame," said RWNZ national president, Fiona Gower.
"We are delighted to partner with Access Community Health to award the scholarship.
"It recognises the importance in having trained health professionals wanting to work in rural sector, ensuring better health outcomes for our rural communities.
"Access Community Health is very proud of their longstanding relationship with Rural Women New Zealand, and once again we are delighted to be a sponsor of the RWNZ/Access Community Health Scholarship in 2018," said Access Community Health chief executive officer, Simon Lipscombe.
