School of Nursing Awarded $839,640 in Grants to Strengthen Maryland’s Nursing Workforce
Most of the Nurse Support Program II (NSP II) funding will support the Cohen Scholars program, a statewide initiative that provides both academic and professional support to aspiring nurse educators. At NDMU, Cohen Scholars are enrolled in the Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) program within the Leadership in Nursing Education concentration. Over the next four years, the School of Nursing will add five new Cohen Scholars each year, preparing them to take on essential faculty roles in academic and clinical settings across the state.
“Nursing faculty shortage is an obstacle to expanding Maryland’s nursing workforce and meeting the state’s health care demands. Receiving the Cohen Scholars award ensures that future nursing students receive quality education from academically prepared nurse educators” said Dr. Kathleen Wisser, dean of the School of Nursing. “By providing both financial and professional support, we are investing in the future of nursing education in Maryland.”
NDMU Receives $88.7K State Grant to Recruit Former Federal Workers for Accelerated Teacher Certification
Governor Wes Moore announced MHEC's $1 million in grants to 11 colleges and universities during a roundtable discussion between higher education leaders and displaced federal workers.
NDMU’s Advancing Diversity and Alternative Pathways in Preparing Teachers program (ADAPPT) will create pathways for career changers and educators with a conditional license to become fully certified to teach in Maryland. The ADAPPT program will help NDMU’s School of Education meet the state’s goals of strengthening the teacher workforce through the state’s Blueprint for Maryland’s Future. NDMU’s ADAPPT program will also improve student success by leveraging the University’s existing educator preparation programs for conditionally licensed teachers and career changers with a bachelor’s degree. Additionally, the program will focus on increasing the diversity of teacher candidates, especially those preparing to become high school educators.
