The Health Resources and Services Administration, part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, recently awarded the Nursing School three grants for graduate students, totaling about $200,000.\nThe HRSA evaluates how the money has been used in the past for the reapplication and consideration of future monies. The University has received these grants for the past five or six years, demonstrating the strength of the nursing program at the University, said Clay Hysell, assistant dean for graduate student services at the Nursing School.\nOne of the grants, the Advanced Education Nurse Traineeship, gives $22,751 to assist students who are primarily from areas lacking in resources and addresses nursing shortages and issues of health care disparity, Hysell said.\nThe Scholarships for Disadvantaged Students, meanwhile, award $98,897 to students who are from economically underprivileged backgrounds.\nThe third grant, called the Nurse Faculty Loan Program, provides $90,000 in loans, 85 percent of which are canceled if recipients decide to assume faculty positions after graduation.\n"It helps make the faculty role look much more attractive, if you know that your loans will be canceled," Hysell said, noting that the program is intended to address the nation's current nursing shortage.\nThe grants "may not enroll more students but it will certainly allow those who are currently graduate students to go on with their aspirations and dreams with less debt," he noted.\n-compiled by Sara Guaglione and Katherine Raichlen
