_**27 Michigan Community Colleges Funded to Partner with Universities and Expand Pathways to the Nursing Profession, Respond to Nursing Demand**_ **LANSING, Mich. ** – Today, the Michigan Department of Lifelong Education, Advancement, and Potential (MiLEAP) is announcing recipients of $56 million in grants to help more students complete a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) after receiving their associate degree in nursing (ADN).
Grants were awarded to 27 Michigan community colleges to launch and grow programs that empower students to advance their careers in nursing through collaborative partnerships with four-year institutions. “MiLEAP is committed to helping Michiganders as they pursue rewarding careers in high-demand fields and helping employers by building the talent pipeline for hard-to-fill jobs,” said **Dr. Beverly Walker-Griffea,**director of MiLEAP.
“This investment creates more opportunities for individuals to join the nursing profession while addressing the critical nursing shortages facing our communities. ” Grant funds are accelerating the formation of strategic partnerships with Michigan four-year colleges and universities so that students can earn a bachelor’s in nursing from the four-year institution while attending classes on campus at their local community college.
To be eligible, students must have already completed an associate degree in nursing or be currently enrolled and express a commitment to enrolling afterwards – or concurrently – in a bachelor’s in nursing program.
“This is a powerful example of how community colleges and universities are stepping up to meet the urgent workforce and healthcare needs of our communities,” said **Michelle Richard,**MiLEAP’s deputy director of Higher Education. “At MiLEAP, we are thrilled to support these kinds of collaborative partnerships that set up more students to achieve their educational and career goals and help strengthen our state’s workforce.

” “SVSU is extremely proud to have developed partnerships with five community colleges – Alpena, Bay, Delta, Kirtland and Montcalm – on an ADN-to-BSN completion program,” said **Dr. Marcia Ditmyer**, dean of the College of Health & Human Services at Saginaw Valley State University.
“We believe these strong partnerships provide easy access and affordability to a high-quality RN to BSN completion program, allowing them the convenience to continue their education along with balancing their home and work, in the communities they call ‘home. ’SVSU is strongly invested in developing these great partnerships and commits to making them successful and sustainable.
