Working in partnership with the Royal College of Nursing, the OU is offering an opportunity for nurses and healthcare support staff to win sponsorship for OU study up to the value of £5,000.

Funding will enable the competition winner to study part-time towards an OU qualification in nursing or healthcare or individual modules for continuing professional development.

Who can enter?
Anyone who is a registered nurse or member of healthcare support staff working in the UK can enter:

  • Healthcare support workers/healthcare assistants
  • Registered nurses
  • Senior practitioners, healthcare leaders and managers

What's the prize?
The prize is 120 credits of fully funded undergraduate or postgraduate study with the OU in England (equivalent to one year’s full-time study) and will fund more than 120 credits of study if the winner is based in Northern Ireland, Scotland or Wales. The winner can study their chosen course part-time, flexibly over two years – studying with the OU means you won’t have to give up your current role or take significant time out of work.

Find out full details and how to enter.  Closing date for entries is Friday 5th July 2013
