Expanded Colorado School Nurse Grant Program
In 2022, the Colorado General Assembly passed Senate Bill 22-226, expanding the current School Nurse Grant Program. The program expansion provides funding to increase access to school nursing professions through the recruitment and retention of qualified school nurses by providing annual grant awards to eligible applicants. At this time, all of the funding has been awarded, and there are no plans to re-open the RFA for additional application rounds.
