Carolinas College of Health Sciences is partnering with Charlotte business execs Todd and Janelle Collins of Red Hill Ventures to create a nurse aide education program meant to remove barriers, especially for students of color, Q City Metro reported.
The Collins duo created the Todd and Janelle Collins Nurse Aide Scholars Program.
“The nurse’s aide program is the first rung on that career ladder, and Janelle and I wanted to help people launch their careers,” said Todd Collins.
The program will give full-tuition scholarships for five recipients starting this fall and an additional stipend for students to work part-time while enrolled.
