CMFnz Student Fund
CMFnz offers a Student Bursary to support medical students who want to grow in their faith and thinking about medicine through conferences, training opportunities, and student ministry activities.
The bursary is funded through generous donations given to advance the work of the Christian Medical Fellowship of New Zealand among medical students across Aotearoa. These funds are administered in a way that seeks to honour God and support the vision and aims of CMFnz.
