Healthcare training schools in Kentucky

The $40,000 grant has been awarded to the university’s School of Nursing and Health Professions and will assist the university in the development of a new Associate of Science in Dental Hygiene program.

The Kentucky Power Economic Growth Grant will allow the college to develop a workforce training program to benefit both local residents and local employers.

The grant comes from the U.S. Department of Education’s Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (FIPSE), which aims to strengthen innovation and workforce development within higher education.
