SYRACUSE — The State University of New York (SUNY) Upstate Medical University’s College of Nursing will use a new two-year federal grant to fund scholarships for nurses who are studying to become primary-care nurse practitioners.
The Health Resources and Services Administration, an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is providing the grant. It is for $664,000.
“This support helps reduce the financial barriers for nurses who are seeking advanced training, and this is especially important as nurses continue to play a larger role in the front lines of medical care,” SUNY Upstate College of Nursing Dean Elvira Szigeti said in a news release.
