Scholarships & Grants

As a member of the NNA you can apply for our scholarships and grants

The NNA works to ensure every neonatal nurse is supported to be the best nurse they can be. One of our 3 core aims is to prioritise neonatal nurses’ well-being and professional development.

We encourage our members to grow professionally and personally through our scholarships and grants. Each scholar is linked with a scholarship lead to offer support alongside the funding. Build your network and develop your knowledge and practice with an NNA scholarship or grant.

Dräger is incredibly proud to support the NNA by sponsoring the NNA Shared Learning & Best Practice in Neonatal Care Scholarship.

Why our standards are important 

Our education and training standards help nursing, midwifery and nursing associate students achieve the NMC standards of proficiency and programme outcomes.

 

All nursing, midwifery and nursing associate professionals must practise in line with the requirements of the Code, the professional standards of practice and behaviour that nurses, midwives and nursing associates are expected to uphold.

 

The standards for education and training includes the Standards framework for nursing and midwifery education, Standards for student supervision and assessment, and programme standards specific to each approved programme.

We are delighted to tell you; we are now signed up to the UK Government Gift Aid scheme.

This means we can claim back 25p for every pound of your subscription from HMRC – it does not cost you a penny more and this additional income will enable us to support you further with our webinars, conferences, awards, and scholarships. For us to claim Gift Aid on your subscriptions, we need your agreement.

How to help

I am a UK taxpayer and understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my payments in that tax year it is my responsibility to pay any difference.

Please notify us if you:

– want to cancel this declaration
– change your name or home address
– no longer pay sufficient tax on your income and/or capital gains

If you pay Income Tax at the higher or additional rate and want to receive the additional tax relief due to you, you must include all your Gift Aid donations on your Self-Assessment tax return or ask HM Revenue and Customs to adjust your tax code.”
