The
Health Resources and Services Administration today awarded
$1 million in one-year grants to help students training to
become nurse anesthetists pay for their education.
“Last
year, these grants helped almost 1,400 students pursue an
advanced education degree,” said Health and Human Services
Secretary Tommy G. Thompson.
“At a time when the number of nurse anesthetists is
declining, these awards make it possible for students with
limited financial resources to follow their dreams and complete
their training."
Sixty-six
colleges, universities, hospitals and medical centers will
share the Nurse Anesthetist Traineeship Awards.
Those institutions will distribute grant dollars to
qualified students, who may use the funds to pay all or part
of their tuition, books, fees and reasonable living expenses.
Eligible students must be enrolled in advanced degree
programs to become nurse anesthetists.
The
Nurse Anesthetist Traineeship grant program is funded under
Title VIII of the Public Health Service Act and is administered
by HRSA’s Bureau of Health Professions.
HRSA
is the lead HHS agency for improving access to health care
for individuals and families nationwide.
