The McGrath Foundation 2026 Scholarship Program for Cancer Nursing
The McGrath Foundation is focused on the growth and sustainability of cancer nursing. A commitment to workforce planning and development is crucial to ensure the Foundation can meet the national demand for cancer nurses into the future.
The McGrath Foundation Scholarship for Cancer Nursing is for Registered Nurses currently providing care to people with any type of cancer who are not currently in McGrath supported positions. The Scholarship is to support the wider cancer nursing workforce who would like to expand their knowledge and skills and obtain a post-graduate qualification in cancer nursing. This financial year, the Foundation is offering 15 individual scholarships to nurses to support the completion of a Graduate Certificate in Advanced Clinical Nursing - Cancer Nursing, offered at Monash University.
The Graduate Certificate in Advanced Clinical Nursing – Cancer Nursing is designed to develop advanced, specialist practice including skills to plan, implement, coordinate and evaluate health care, as well as the ability to formulate policy for a diverse and multicultural society.
