Corewell Health launched an initiative with Grand Valley State University to provide scholarship and mentorship opportunities for nursing students. The initiative started in 2022, and Corewell Health committed $19 million for six years to support over 500 students with a nursing degree at the university. Students involved in the program get $20,000 in tuition assistance and are matched with a nurse who serves as a coach and mentor during their training. Students agree to work at Corewell Health for two years after they graduate. To date, nearly 200 nursing students have gone through the program.
