Masters of Nursing
Postgraduate study is a powerful way for registered nurses to deepen their knowledge and develop the advanced skills needed to move into specialist roles and enhance patient care.
Arrow proudly provides scholarships for registered nurses working in stem cell and bone marrow transplantation to pursue any relevant Masters degree that strengthens their expertise in this specialty area. These programs offer invaluable opportunities to learn from leading experts and advance your career while improving outcomes for patients and families.
The Therakos Arrow Masters scholarship provides financial assistance exclusively for university course fees. Scholarship applications are assessed in September each year.
Further details on specific courses can be found on your chosen university’s website.
We gratefully acknowledge Therakos for their generous funding support of the Arrow Masters Scholarship Program, helping nurses access education that makes a real difference for patients and their families.

We give thanks to:
The Professor Geoffrey Driscoll Nursing Scholarship was developed by Geoff’s wife Mrs Jan Driscoll and her family following the passing of Geoff. Geoff was first diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in 2006, and following radiotherapy and chemotherapy, was in and out of remission for his remaining years. Sadly, in May 2016, he developed Acute Myeloid Leukaemia. Following months of gruelling chemotherapy and an unsuccessful stem cell transplant, Geoff succumbed to the disease in October 2016.
His family wanted to mark this very special man’s life by establishing a scholarship. The Professor Geoffrey Driscoll Scholarship for Haematology Nursing is their way of saying thank you to all those specialist, caring nurses and to encourage more to take up the study of haematology and related blood disorders, so they too can continue to make an incredible impact on other patients’ medical journeys.
