ST. Francis college nursing simulation lab

The Department of Education Office of Postsecondary Education awarded a $1,500,000 Project Grant to St. Francis College to establish a nursing simulation lab for hands-on clinical training. This grant is funded through the U.S. Department of Education's Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (CFDA 84.116) program, which aims to support institutional reforms and innovative strategies to improve postsecondary instruction and expand educational opportunities.

Through this 5-year grant, St. Francis College will use the funding to implement the nursing simulation lab, providing nursing students with advanced, realistic clinical training to enhance their skills and preparedness for careers in the healthcare field. The simulation lab will enable St. Francis College to deliver high-quality nursing education and improve student outcomes, furthering the institution's mission as a private, non-profit Hispanic-Serving Institution focused on advancing postsecondary education.
