Nursing bursary advertised, applicants warned of scams
The North West Department of Health through its North West Nursing College has advertised the bursary for a 3yr Diploma in Nursing. Aspirant and qualifying matriculates with a calling for the profession of nursing can apply.
The department wish to at the same time warn communities to avert scamming and fraudulent activities. Previously, a lot of people have been scammed by fraudsters posing as recruiters of the Department. Sadly many aspirant learners have lost money as a result. It is therefore important that the community should not accept any information regarding intake of students that requires any payment to be done before the person is considered.
The applicants are advised to personally submit the forms to the college and are to not allow anybody to collect forms on their behalf using the name of the college. It is equally important for applicants to check the advertisement of the bursary which is placed on the newspapers and call the contact numbers appearing on the advert if they have questions.
The training is a bursary and private students are also not to pay any person any amount of money as this is not required until the person is admitted to training. The Department does not sell application forms nor does the Department expect learners to pay for the bursary or placement at the college.
