ALBANY, N.Y. — Tompkins Cortland Community College, SUNY Morrisville, and Mohawk Valley Community College (MVCC) are among 11 SUNY campuses awarded funding to expand health-care degree programs for students interested in pursuing a career in nursing.
SUNY on Wednesday announced that more than $1.4 million has been awarded from its Nursing Emergency Training Fund to the schools.
The 11 campuses also include Corning Community College, SUNY Brockport, North Country Community College, and SUNY Empire State College.
All SUNY campuses with nursing programs were eligible to submit proposals for one-time grants of up to $250,000 from the Nursing Emergency Training Fund. The winning proposals included plans to expand the number of spaces available in nursing programs.
It is the fund’s second disbursement in less than 12 months and part of an effort to meet Gov. Kathy Hochul’s goal of growing the state’s health-care workforce by 20 percent over the next five years, SUNY said.
In May, SUNY announced that more than $3.2 million was awarded to 16 campuses to help increase nursing program enrollment capacity. Including this second round of funding, SUNY projects a total of 2,500 spots will be created for prospective students.
