 Students are a working parent or a newly married individual looking to further their education in order to provide for their family.Our Development Foundation now has an opportunity to support these individuals while furthering their degree to prepare them for the workforce. There are limited scholarship funds available for students on the Ridgeland Campus where the cost of living is significantly higher than the rest of the district. The Better Health Bulldogs program is a grant obtained in conjunction with the Bower Foundation and the Women’s Foundation of Mississippi which has helped provide emergency funds for our ADN students to help ease financial burdens while obtaining their nursing degree.Holmes Community College is poised to help fill the gap of the current shortage of nurses in our state. Located in central Mississippi our nine-county district provides training for the poorest and the richest parts of our state. In the metro area, the need for skilled nurses is high due to the large hospital facilities that must be staffed. In the rural areas of our district, finding skilled nurses to be employed at clinics is also challenging. Prior to COVID-19, the projected employment growth for registered nurses was 18.6% and licensed practical nursing was 11.3% in the Holmes Community College district. The average wage for a registered nurse in Mississippi s $61,125 annually; the average wage for a licensed practical nurse is $40,340 annually. These are high-skill, high-wage, high-demand jobs in our state for which we currently have a shortage in the workforce.The Better Health Bulldog program is not limited to school supplies but can be used for any financial burdens that could pull students out of the program such as rent, day care or daily expenses for the students while working on their degree. This program is to help students stay on track in the program while obtaining their nursing degree.
