At the University of Newcastle we are committed to delivering quality health and medical education to those in rural and remote communities. Through the generous bequest of Betty Fyffe, a range of scholarships are available for health students from rural and remote areas.
Betty Fyffe was a local Tamworth girl who grew up in the surrounds of her father’s chemist shops. Betty had an absolute passion for Nursing and had strong feelings for St Vincent’s Hospital in Sydney where she trained and spent many years providing nursing treatment.
Betty leaves this legacy as her way of trying to improve the education of doctors, nurses and allied health professionals in training with hope that some will return to the country areas to practice their profession.
We hope that all recipients of a Betty Josephine Fyffe Scholarship be as passionate about their career as she was about nursing.
