The grants are designed to encourage trainees to remain in school, complete their training and obtain employment in the health care field.
Just in Time grants are awarded based on the need as described in the application and in consultation with their school administration. Recipients are those women who have demonstrated a commitment to improving themselves and the lives of their families. They have applyed and entering an accredited program for health care training. Past awards have supported tuition assistance, books and audio books, baby clothing car repairs and more. Former recipients such as Jacqueline say, "thank you so much for considering and awarding me with the Just in Time Scholarship. It is really a great feeling to know that there are other sisters in the community who are praying for my success and supporting my endeavors."
The Just in Time Grant Program works together with the eMentoring program to provide continued support and encouragement through the Protégé Network. EMentors are professionals in the health care field who share their expertise and guidance to students and new health care professionals. Both programs provide linkages to additional information about the health care field, allow participants to take advantage of lessons learned by professionals and the guidance they can share. The online mentors for the program are very credentialed. Most are nurses, either Licensed Practical Nurse or Registered Nurse. Mentors include teachers, attorneys with RN degrees, heads of departments mentor, to mention just a few. All have many years experience.
