Illinois College announced on Friday morning that it was joining forces with Memorial Health to offer full-tuition scholarships for those aspiring for a nursing career.
Comprising 50 scholarships annually, it is noted as a collaborative effort between Illinois College and Memorial Health to support nursing education.
The scholarships will cover the complete cost of tuition for eligible nursing students hailing from the 38 Illinois counties surrounding the Jacksonville campus during the first two years at IC.
Furthermore, scholarships continue for the additional two years with a work commitment at any Memorial Health site. These nursing scholarships are in addition to Illinois College’s Advantage Plus Program, which covers 100% of the financial needs of Illinois residents.
Marsha Prater, Senior Vice President and Chief Nursing Officer at Memorial Health, noted:
“This partnership represents a crucial investment in the future of healthcare in Central Illinois. By removing financial barriers, we aim to inspire and support the next generation of nursing professionals.”
