2008 Education Scholarships

In 2008, as part of our commitment to the ongoing professional development of cancer health professionals working in oncology disciplines, the Cancer Institute NSW has continued the Cancer Institute NSW Education Scholarship Program. This will provide cancer health professionals with an opportunity to access a range of study options available through universities, tertiary institutions and Area Health Services.
