Introduction
We recognise the challenges that COVID-19 is presenting to our international as well as domestic students who wish to begin their study at IHM. We understand that this is a difficult time for our international students, particularly when it comes to their finances. Hence, through our scholarships along with continuing support to our students to help them advance in their career. A scholarship provides financial assistance during your study. Some scholarships provide a stipend that covers tuition fees, while others provide only partial funding. We understand how important education is to fulfil your potential, and that access to a scholarship can help make that happen.
We want to ease your financial burden so that you can focus on your studies.
*Please note, eligibility requirements do apply and not all applicants will be offered a scholarship
About the Scholarship
According to the statistics provided by the World Health Organisation (WHO), nurses and midwives comprise nearly half of the universal health workforce. It is estimated that there are 20.7 million nurses and midwives out of the 43.5 million health across the world.
Although nursing is an essential practice, there are evident differences in nursing consuetudes in different parts of the world. Factors such as the variations in topography, economic standing, religious beliefs and the healthcare system of a country affect the way a nurse conducts their job. From education, registration and accreditation to conditions in which medication and care are administered, the nursing practice varies immensely across the globe.
With this understanding, IHM has developed the NCAP – Gateway to Global Nursing program that will assist the overseas nurses who wish to work towards attaining their Nursing Registration in countries such as Australia, USA, Canada, UK and New Zealand. Moreover, this program also equips the overseas nurses with skills needed to prepare themselves to work as a nurse in the gulf countries and European countries like Italy, Austria, Switzerland and Germany.
The program is aligned with IHM’s purpose; “to enhance lives through healthcare and education”, and employs innovative approaches to nursing education utilising technology-enhanced learning methodologies with virtual classrooms and resources to enhance the learning experience.
