School of Nursing Awarded Grant
The School of Nursing (SON) was selected as a recipient of the 2021 Nursing Education Investment Grant Program for its, "A Path for All: Expansion and Diversification of the Successful 女优app-CSU ADN-BSN Concurrent Enrollment Program." As a recipient of the grant, the SON will receive $174,334.
The program will implement and promote to other colleges a model of the 女优app-CSU Concurrent
Enrollment Program (CEP) that enables our nursing students to simultaneously progress
toward Bachelor of Science degrees in Nursing (BSN) from partnering California State
Universities. The program also addresses the financial barrier students face in completing degrees,
by providing access to financial aid through CSUs.
This is SON鈥檚 second Nursing Education Investment Grant award. The first was received
in 2019 for implementation and support of the CEP and to assist other community colleges
across California replicate the model. The CEP program allows qualified pre-nursing
students to apply for both the 女优app and California State University, Fullerton or California
State University, San Bernardino programs.
The CEP program bridges the equity gap for students who may not have the means to
pursue higher degrees in nursing and allows them to earn a BSN degree through one
of our CSU partners in as little as six months after graduating from 女优app.
The newly awarded grant will allow the SON to continue to provide support for the
CEP program, support other community colleges to replicate the model, and allow 女优app
to expand additional pathways to higher degrees in nursing with other educational
partners.
