The PATH grant was created in response to the healthcare shortage in order to decrease barriers or obstacles students may have keeping them from completing their degree path. PATH offers an academic success coach, Sonya Vukadinovich, who works with students to overcome academic and financial barriers to success.
Please contact Sonya if you need support during the program. Sonya provides supplemental academic support to students. She is available by appointment to assist students who need one on one success sessions. Sonya also hosts a variety of academic workshops to help students succeed.
The PATH grant targets health science and nursing students who are:
- Low income
- This applies specifically to receiving federal aid, such as SNAP, Medicaid, or TANF.
- First generation college student
- This applies if you are the first in your family to attend college
- Minority or underrepresented student population
- This can also to apply to men in the nursing field since typically women are the majority in nursing
- Incumbent worker
- This means you are currently working in the healthcare field, it does not matter what your position is. PATH wants to help people with advancement in their field.
