Emerging Policy Leadership Program Scholarship 2026

The Australian College of Nursing Foundation (ACN Foundation) is delighted to offer scholarships for the Emerging Policy Leader Program (EPLP). The program will commence in March 2027. 

The Emerging Policy Leader Program is ideal for registered nurses who are eager to influence health care policy and drive meaningful change without the extended commitment of a policy degree. This program is tailored for those who wish to apply evidence-based research to policy decisions, identify and address policy gaps, and develop impactful policy recommendations. Whether you are looking to enhance your advocacy skills, engage in policy-making, or contribute to public policy change on a local, national, or global scale, this program provides the tools and mentorship needed to become a leader in health care policy. 

Applications close 11:59 pm AEDT, Sunday 18 October 2026. 

Number of scholarships: 5 

Value of scholarship: up to $10,000 each in total (includes travel and accommodation)
