The 3% rise is the third successive increase in student places.
In three years, the total number of additional places for students starting midwifery and nursing courses stands at 608.
In addition to the new places, an extra £450,000 over three years will be provided for a return-to-practice scheme to encourage former midwives and nurses back into the profession. This would allow up to 75 former midwives and nurses to retain each year and return to employment.
Shona Robison, Health Secretary, said: "Our commitment to frontline funding for the NHS is clear. We are increasing the NHS budget, despite Westminster cuts, and we are increasing staffing levels.
"We are not only increasing the numbers of qualified nurses and midwives in our hospitals now, we are also planning for the future. That is why we have funded an increase in the number of nurses and midwives in training again this year by a further 3%, on top of the 6% increase the Scottish Government announced last year.
"This is the kind of careful long-term planning and investment our NHS needs."
