The RKS scholarship allows me to not work while studying. My tuition fees are paid for as a result of this scholarship which takes the pressure of having to work while studying, meaning I have more time to devote to reading around subjects and achieve higher grades than I might have had otherwise. I never thought I would be a recipient of a scholarship and having this amazing opportunity greatly improved my confidence and motivation.

The Sally Adams' fund
Sally Adams was a valued and loved member of the nursing administration team based at Falmer. She sadly died in 2017 and is much missed by all of her colleagues and friends. Due to Sally’s commitment to her role and to those nursing students she supported, Sally’s family have generously funded a scholarship to honour her memory.
This scholarship will allow selected student nurses to undertake a 2 - 4-week practice learning experience. This can be undertaken either in the UK or internationally and will be a placement which they would not normally be able to consider due to cost or other circumstances. The placement should take place in Year 2 placement 1 or 2 or Year 3 placement 1.
Successful student nurses will be able to utilise the funding to pay for accommodation, travel costs or to fund care for children/dependents to allow them to undertake this experience.
Is this fund for me?
The opportunity is open to pre-registration student nurses from their second year of undergraduate study from courses in adult nursing, child nursing and mental health nursing.

They are up to 8 awards available this funding round.
When and how can I apply?
The selection process will be in two parts. Firstly, a shortlisting process and then interviews for shortlisted students. You can apply online here.
