Medical Specialisation Scholarships – Fully Funded

The Nautilus Foundation is excited to announce the availability of a fully funded scholarship dedicated to supporting a Maldivian citizen interested in advancing their medical education through specialisation.

The Nautilus Foundation is excited to announce the availability of a fully funded scholarship dedicated to supporting a Maldivian citizen interested in advancing their medical education through specialisation.

 

This year, special priority will be given to candidates pursuing training in pediatric hematology. At present, the Maldives does not have a pediatric hematologist, despite the country facing one of the highest burdens of thalassemia in the region. Developing expertise in this field is therefore a crucial step toward improving care and outcomes for Maldivian children living with blood disorders.

 

This scholarship provides complete financial support, including monthly stipends, tuition fees, return flights, medical insurance, and visa processing costs for the selected applicant.

 

Our foundation prioritises enhancing medical human resources, particularly encouraging those seeking specialised medical training.

Field of Education: Medicine

Scholarship Level: Postgraduate (specialization)

Number of Scholarships Available: One (1)
