The ACN Foundation is proud to announce the following ACN Foundation scholarship recipients for March round 2026, recognising nurses whose dedication, leadership and commitment to advancing healthcare strengthen communities across Australia.
These scholarships, grants and awards have been made possible through the generous support of our valued sponsors, donors and supporters, including Convatec, Endometriosis Australia, Recovery Camp, Richard Harrison and Family, Kiel Foundation and the Murray Family, whose contributions help create meaningful education, research and professional development opportunities for nurses nationwide.
Through this support, recipients will receive the insights and tools to expand their skills, pursue specialist knowledge, contribute to evidence-based practice and step confidently into leadership roles that shape the future of nursing and patient care.
