Scholarships for Bone Marrow Transplant Nurses for Arrow Bone Marrow Transplant Foundation

The Arrow Bone Marrow Transplant Foundation funds medical research into the cause, prevention, treatment and cure of leukaemia and other diseases treatable by bone marrow and stem cell transplantation. Arrow currently supports critical research into how microRNA genes contribute to the uncontrolled growth and immature features which are hallmarks of leukaemia. This year, Arrow awarded four PhD scholarships in support of research into leukaemia and stem cell transplantation; and six nursing scholarships to nurses wanting to further their education in the field of blood cancers with the College of Nursing. Arrow also supports patients through accommodation, education, travel assistance and a free Wig Library for patients experiencing hair loss through chemotherapy.
