McKnight’s Senior Living February 13, 2024
Grants totaling $5 million are being distributed to a total of 20 colleges and universities across Missouri, to be used to bolster nursing programs. Gov. Michael Parson (R) approved the distribution at the end of 2023.
Almost $3 million in funding previously was approved by the governor in September 2022 through the first special appropriation by the Missouri General Assembly, meaning that a total of almost $8 million has been committed through the governor’s office.
The recipients of the funds are charged with providing scholarships and tuition assistance for nursing faculty, clinical simulation equipment and staffing, technology enhancements, faculty pay increases, nursing faculty professional development, and graduate nursing program development to educate more nursing faculty.
