This funding is in addition to the more than $5 million the Board authorized at their meeting on September 18, 2024.

“Thanks to Governor DeSantis’ leadership and the support of the Florida Legislature, Florida has committed significant investments to address the nursing shortage.
Because of these investments, institutions within the State University System graduated a record number of pre-licensure nurses, increased nursing program capacity, and raised passage rates on the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses,” said Chancellor Ray Rodrigues.
“Through the LINE funding, our institutions have expanded partnerships with the private health care sector to expand the capacity of our nursing programs,” said Brian Lamb, Chair of the Florida Board of Governors. “The LINE funding has provided 155 scholarships to students and added 143 new nursing students to programs in our System.
” The LINE program was established in 2022 as a competitive grant opportunity and provides matching funds on a dollar-for-dollar basis to participating institutions that partner with health care providers incentivizing collaboration to meet local, regional, and statewide demand for nurses.
Universities can use LINE funds for student scholarships, faculty recruitment, purchasing equipment, and supporting simulation centers to increase the capacity of high-quality nursing education programs.
