Nursing Scholarships
At the TLR Foundation, we are deeply grateful for the extraordinary care nurses provide to patients and their families. Every day, they go above and beyond, offering comfort, strength, and unwavering dedication during some of the most challenging moments in life.
Nurses are true heroes, and supporting their education is our way of saying thank you and ensuring they can continue to make an incredible impact. The TLR Nursing Scholarships help fund a Master’s in Cancer & Haematology Nursing at the University of Sydney, giving nurses the chance to enhance their skills and make a real difference. These scholarships are perpetual, creating opportunities for generations of nurses by investing in their education. The first scholarship has been running since 2022, and we’re excited to be launching the second one soon, opening even more doors for growth.
