Description
he Michigan Department of Lifelong Education, Advancement, and Potential (MiLEAP) is announcing recipients of $56 million in grants to help more students complete a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) after receiving their associate degree in nursing (ADN). Grants were awarded to 27 Michigan community colleges to launch and grow programs that empower students to advance their careers in nursing through collaborative partnerships with four-year institutions.
Grant funds are accelerating the formation of strategic partnerships with Michigan four-year colleges and universities so that students can earn a bachelor’s in nursing from the four-year institution while attending classes on campus at their local community college. To be eligible, students must have already completed an associate degree in nursing or be currently enrolled and express a commitment to enrolling afterwards – or concurrently – in a bachelor’s in nursing program.
