Charitable Funds from UCH London Nurses’ Charity
This fund was established in 1979/80 in memory of Janet Hull, a UCH student and staff nurse who died tragically in a road accident on her return from honeymoon, one week after her wedding. Her parents created a memorial fund to help UCH nurses with travel costs in the pursuit of professional nursing studies. UCLH Charity now manages the fund and the Nurses’ Charity administers the award of scholarships.
The fund is designed to continue in perpetuity and allows for a small annual increase to offset inflation. A total of £2000 is available per annum.
The Fund is open to Band 5 nurses only, and applications up to the value of £1000 will be considered. Applications are invited from members of the UCH London Nurse’s Charity and also UCLH-employed registered nurses. The Chief Nurse chairs the award of scholarships.
Please contact the Charity for further details about how to apply: https://
The Education Fund assists associate members with grants for postgraduate education. This scholarly activity might take the form of a recognised course, a study tour or an educational project that intends to help the associate member in their career. Applicants must have been associate members of the charity for one year prior to applying.
