The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, through the Health Resources and Services Administration's Nurse Faculty Loan Program (NFLP) (CFDA 93.264), awarded Florida State University (FSU) a $116,583 project grant to establish a student loan fund and support initiatives to increase the number of qualified nurse educators in the United States.
The primary objectives of the NFLP grant to FSU are to provide financial assistance to graduate nursing students pursuing advanced degrees, such as master's and doctoral programs, with the commitment to become nurse educators. The grant will fund a comprehensive program at FSU that includes an inclusive recruitment strategy to attract diverse candidates, financial aid for academic expenses, mentored teaching experiences, and post-graduation employment support. This multifaceted approach aims to cultivate a robust pipeline of well-prepared nurse faculty to address the nationwide shortage, particularly in underserved communities.
