MooGoo Post-Graduate Scholarships

The MooGoo Post Graduate Scholarship applications are annual scholarships awarding up to $10,000 to help subsidise costs associated with Post-Graduate study.

The MooGoo Postgraduate Cancer Nursing Scholarship awards $30,000 in prize money to postgraduate cancer nurse students (3 x $10,000 prizes) to further enhance the education of the cancer nursing workforce in Australia. As part of the scholarship, CNSA supports the successful recipients with CNSA membership and free registration for our Annual Congress in June, where the successful recipients will be announced.

The selection of winners (3x postgraduate cancer nursing students) is dependent upon completing a short 800-1000 word essay and meeting eligibility criteria. Details of eligibility for the 2025 scholarship round are outlined below.
