The PATH grant is the Pipeline for Advancement of The Healthcare workforce. This 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. We have an academic success coach, Sonya Vukadinovich, RNC-OB, BSN, C-EFM, and a social services coordinator, Allison Threet, MSW.

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.

Allison helps with external barriers that keep you from completing the program whether it is managing stress levels or having difficulty finding a laptop. She can direct you to resources, both internal and external, to help with obstacles that may arise throughout your program.

Eligibility requirements:

• Low income (receiving federal aid, such as SNAP, Medicaid, or TANF)
• First generation college student
• Minority or underrepresented student population
• Incumbent worker
