Description

This is a grant and program development that creates seamless opportunities for nurses with Associate Degrees to complete their Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) on community college campuses. As part of the program, community colleges will partner with a four-year college or university and design a BSN completion program with input from local employers and local workforce development agencies. The program will increase access to and affordability of Bachelor of Science in Nursing programs for students who have completed their Associate Degree in Nursing at a Michigan community college. Under the plan, grants will be administered by the Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity (LEO) and be awarded to Michigan community colleges. Each community college will be eligible for a $2 million appropriation for administering the program in collaboration with a four-year public university or independent college.

Michigan Health Council does not administer all of the programs in this database. Please see the "organizations involved" above to learn who you should contact for more information.
