Snead State Receives Grant for
Nursing Scholarships

BOAZ - September 19, 2011
Some students returning to Snead State Community College this fall as part of the nursing program are doing so with the aid of a scholarship funded through the Health Resource Services Administration SDS program.

Snead State received $40,000 to use for scholarships for disadvantaged students enrolled in the Associate Degree Registered Nursing program. About $18,000 in scholarships was awarded this fall, and the remainder of the scholarships will be awarded during the spring and summer semesters.

“We’re excited to have received this grant for our students. Our hope is that the funding will help alleviate the financial burden of completing a college degree,” said Health Sciences Director Amy Langley. “Our focus as a college is to support and encourage our students to complete a degree and find success. This is just one way we are able to do this.”

The scholarships were awarded to current nursing students who met the criteria and completed an application process.
