Students currently receive £6,578 for their studies each year, but the figure will rise to £10,000 by 2020, with an interim increase next year of £8100.
Announcing the increase, Mrs Sturgeon said: "Dedicated staff are crucial to our NHS and it is vital that we help support the nurses and midwives of the future during their training.
"We know the value of our NHS staff and we know the value of our Health Service."
The rise is to help cover the costs of accommodation and living expenses, and has been lobbied for by the Royal College of Midwives (RCM).
RCM Scotland director Mary Ross Davie welcomed the recent announcement as a "forward-thinking" one.
"It is crucial that we attract people into midwifery, from all walks of life, to ensure that we not only replace those midwives that will retire, but also that we attract the very best people into the profession.
"Let us not forget that in England student midwives and nurses do not get any bursary at all, which makes this increase for Scotland even more progressive."
Bursaries in Scotland have not seen an increase since 2009.
