The Indiana Commission for Higher Education awards $540,000 to Vincennes University’s healthcare training
Vincennes University has received just over half a million dollars from the Indiana Commission for Higher Education for its healthcare training programs.
An award of $540,000 was given to Vincennes University by the Indiana Commission for Higher Education to help in the training of certified clinical medical assistants.
This award comes as an addition to the Next Level Jobs funding the University has already begun, which will run through the end of next June. The Next Level Jobs program will allow Indiana residents who do not have a degree and meet several other qualifications to receive a degree without having to pay tuition.
Vincennes Vice President for Workforce Development and Community Services, David Tucker, was quoted in an article for the school’s website as saying,“Vincennes University’s CCMA training program is a key contributor to Indiana’s economy. VU’s Allied Health CCMA training prepares people for entry-level healthcare positions throughout the state through hands-on learning, lectures, and on-site clinical experiences.”
Vincennes University holds CCMA training programs at its campuses all over Indiana, such as the campuses in Corydon, Evansville, North Vernon, Bedford, Petersburg, Noblesville, Lebanon, Fort Branch, Jasper, Indianapolis, and Vincennes.
The Next Level Jobs grant is a program that covers the entire tuition costs for Indiana-based students who attend Vincennes University in certain certificate programs based on the needs of the workforce, such as advanced manufacturing, health and life sciences, information technology, building and construction, business services, and transportation and logistics. The grant also provides as much as $5,500 for students who qualify who are attending non-credit bearing programs at the school.
Some of the requirements for interested students are that they must be a U.S. Citizen and a resident of Indiana, have a high school diploma or equivalent, not have a college degree, maintain “Satisfactory Academic Progress,” file a FAFSA for the desired academic year, enroll in one of the programs that are included in the grant, and enroll as a full-time student.
