These scholarships provide more than just financial support – they offer significant recognition and a platform for future career advancement

The Practice Managers and Administrators Association of New Zealand is excited to announce three prestigious scholarships for the PMAANZ 2024 conference, taking place from 12 to 14 September, in Auckland. These scholarships are designed to recognise outstanding professionals and offer valuable opportunities for further education and career advancement in practice management and administration.

Bronze Scholarship: The Bronze Scholarship is specifically aimed at receptionists and team leaders in practice management. This scholarship serves as a testament to the recipient’s dedication and potential for future career growth.

Silver Scholarship: The Silver Scholarship is intended for those with several years of experience in practice management or assistant manager roles. It is perfect for those looking to invest in their professional growth and advance their careers in practice management, and an excellent way to dip your toes into extra study to prepare you for further education.

UNE Partnerships Scholarship: Sponsored by General Practice NZ, the UNE Partnerships Scholarship is the most distinguished award, valued at $3450. This offers a Diploma in Practice Management, previously no longer available in New Zealand. It is designed for experienced professionals seeking to deepen their expertise, enhance their skills and expand their career opportunities through advanced learning and high-level networking.

These scholarships provide more than just financial support – they offer significant recognition and a platform for future career advancement. Winning an award highlights your dedication to the profession and provides opportunities for continued professional development.

As a 2022 UNE Partnership Scholarship winner, I have found the team outstanding. They tailored the diploma to suit where I was in my practice management career and have been so supportive on my journey thus far.
