COVID-19 is a dangerous virus and an emerging infectious disease for everyone. To help health professionals who risk their own health to support patients, Coventry University is providing the Coventry University National Hero Award for the academic year 2020/21.

The courage, commitment and professionalism of healthcare workers fighting the Coventry University National Hero Award is a beacon of inspiration across the world. Many of these heroes have risked their own health to support patients and communities as professional caregivers, nurses, doctors and emergency staff. So we’re proud to be able to pay tribute for their service and bravery with the brand new National Hero Award.

We will fully fund the first year of tuition fees for successful students who qualify for this significant award.
