Traineeship Funding

Each year the Nurse Anesthesia and the Nurse Practitioner programs compete for a nurse traineeship grant awards from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is the primary Federal agency for improving health care to people who are geographically isolated, economically or medically vulnerable.

Once admitted to the program, students should discuss traineeship funding with their program director.
