“…The financial support also enabled participants to balance their work and study commitments by reducing their paid work hours. The conflicting time demands of work and study has been found to prevent nurses and allied health professionals from engaging in postgraduate study (Foreman et al , 2017; Ng et al , 2016; Ng, 2017).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the use of a scholarship scheme to support mental health workforce development. Design/methodology/approach Nursing and allied health recipients (n = 72) of a scholarship for postgraduate mental health study provided quantitative and qualitative feedback via an online survey. Findings Benefits of the scholarship scheme include helping to overcome financial barriers to accessing higher education, increased motivation to study, increased knowledge and skills and enhanced positive feelings towards the recipient’s organisation. A total of 44% of participants reported being majorly or completely influenced to remain working in the organisation due to provision of the scholarship. Originality/value This study asks recipients to evaluate the scholarship scheme rather than the associated postgraduate education and provides preliminary support that scholarships are beneficial even when the amount of funding is less than half of course fees and the support from the employer is primarily monetary. The provision of scholarship funding can encourage existing professionals to undertake postgraduate study and attract them to pursue mental health specialisation instead of other health specialisations. Provision of scholarships is one strategy which can positively impact on mental health workforce retention in allied health professionals.

“…Bu bakımdan lisansüstü eğitim, belli bir alanda yetişmeyi ve uzmanlaşmayı amaçladığı için lisans düzeyinde elde edilen yeterliklerden ayrılmaktadır (Gradschools com., 2019;İlter, 2019). Araştırmalar, lisansüstü eğitimin bireylerin kişisel ilişkilerini, akademik ve sosyal yaşamlarını önemli ölçüde değiştirdiğini ve uzmanlıklarını artırdığını göstermiştir (Chaboyer ve Retsas, 1996;Ng, 2016).…”

“…With regard to academic career, having a postgraduate education is being deemed important as it improves the diverse academic experience peculiar to the fields of specialisation of the individuals, ensuring progress in the track of academic career (Artess & Hooley, 2017;Cragg & Andrusyszyn, 2004) and improving individuals, intellectual and cultural wealth, and ensuring lifelong learning opportunities (Aitken, Currey, Marshall & Elliott, 2008). In addition, postgraduate education significantly diversifies the academic and social lives of individuals by bringing in high competency regarding knowledge and technical skills in a specific field of specialisation, and by providing professional development opportunities (Battie & Steelman, 2014;Ng, 2016;Van Bragt, Bakx, Teune, Bergen & Croon, 2011). Moreover, it is being emphasised in the literature that postgraduate education increases job satisfaction and improves leadership skills and self-sufficiency (Armstrong & Adam, 2002;Cotterill-Walker, 2012).…”

This study aimed to determine to what extent undergraduate students’ level of academic career awareness and demographic variables predicted their level of academic career interest. The sample consisted of 3,696 students studying at 16 faculties, who were 3rd- and 4th-year undergraduate students from Akdeniz University in the fall semester of 2019–2020, and where the necessary permissions could be obtained from the faculty deanships for the application of the scales. The Academic Career Awareness Scale and Academic Career Interest Scale were used as data collection tools. The results obtained from the study were as follows: the level of undergraduate students’ academic career awareness was low and their level of academic career interest was above average. It was determined that the level of academic career interest of the undergraduate students changed according to their gender, grade level and their level of academic career awareness. When the demographic variables were measured, the level of academic career awareness explained the level of academic career interest. According to this result, it could be said that undergraduate students should have knowledge about academic career in order to be interested in an academic career. Keywords: Academic career, academic career interest, academic career knowledge, academic career awareness, postgraduate education
