Scott initially connected with the COW program for assistance in pursuing his Associate’s Degree in Nursing. Scott was employed and working in the healthcare field as a CNA at a local facility, but had a desire to advance his skills in the industry. To further support Scott and his career journey, he was referred and ultimately enrolled in Support to Communities to fill in the gaps that the COW program could not. Between both grant programs, Scott received financial assistance with tuition and licensing exam fees. Currently, Scott is working at the same facility where he was working as a CNA and also during his Nursing Internship. “This grant allowed me to advance my career and also allows me to help out my community as a RN in the local Emergency Department,” said Scott. “If someone has a similar mindset and wants to help their community it is a great resource!”
