This scholarship is designed to recognize those institutions that partner and affiliate with City College/CAHE to educate its students. This scholarship is available to employees of partnering organizations of at least 6 months where students have consistently been provided clinical rotations.
The scholarship being offered depends on the tier level of the affiliate:
Tier 1: Major Hospital System with student rotations in multiple locations. The scholarship is equivalent to 10% of the total tuition cost billed per term. The scholarship is disbursed per term.
Tier 2: Private Practices with student rotations in multiple locations (i.e., imaging centers, surgical centers, nursing homes, fire houses, private ambulance companies, urgent cares). The scholarship is equivalent to 7.5% of the total tuition cost billed per term. The scholarship is disbursed per term.
Tier 3: Doctor’s Offices or Private Practices with students’ rotations in one location. The scholarship is equivalent to 5% of the total tuition cost billed per term. The scholarship is disbursed per term.
Example: (Tier 1) Total Tuition for the Nursing Program for a full-time student (without any transfer credit) is $48,640.00; the scholarship would be $4,864.00 disbursed over 7 terms.
