Kinnser Software Announces 90 Full Scholarships for Austin Community College Nursing Students

Kinnser Software Announces 90 Full Scholarships for Austin Community College Nursing Students

Austin, TX (PRWEB) December 06, 2011

Kinnser Software, leading Web-based home health software provider, announces today that the company will award $ 225,000 in scholarship funds to the Austin Community College (ACC) Foundation for students enrolled in the college’s Licensed Vocational Nursing (LVN) and Associate Degree of Nursing (ADN) programs. Over the next five years, the Kinnser Software Scholars Program will award 90 recipients with a full scholarship each for tuition, fees, books and nursing program expenses.

Nurses play a vital role in meeting the health care needs of Americans, and demand for talented nurses continues to grow at a faster rate than the average for all occupations, according to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics. Colleges like ACC must work to maintain a steady stream of nursing graduates to meet increasing demand.

“Kinnser Software’s generosity will have a tremendous impact on students by helping them achieve their goals,” said Edwina Carrington, chair of the ACC Foundation. “In addition, this donation will benefit our community and the healthcare industry by ensuring a pipeline of skilled workers.”

Scholarships, like the Kinnser Software Scholars Program, are a great source of aid to nursing students looking to enter the profession without significant debt.

“When I founded Kinnser Software, I had a primary goal – to provide software that will help nurses and their home health agencies overcome the challenges they face in their daily work lives,” said Kinnser Software’s President Christopher Hester. “Now, with the Kinnser Scholars Program, we are excited to help nurses acquire the funds necessary for their education, which is often the first challenge many face before they can enter the profession.”

Sarah Foti, mother of three children, is one of ten ACC students who received the Kinnser Software scholarship funds for the fall 2011 semester. After receiving her General Educational Development (GED) in 2008, Foti chose ACC’s nursing program to pursue a career that would support her family. She is now in the last year of the ADN program.

“I am a very dedicated nursing student,” Foti wrote in a letter to Kinnser Software. “I have a lot of challenges right now. Going to school and being a single mother of three children is a constant struggle. I have to put my studies first a lot of the time in order to succeed. This scholarship is a blessing to me and my children.”

Scholarship recipient Wendy Jordan is currently enrolled in the LVN program and taking pre-requisite coursework for the ADN program. Jordan is a member of the National Student Nurses Association and is a Class President of the Fredericksburg, TX LVN Program. She and her husband were both laid off from the same company when they decided it was the right time for her to pursue her dream of a career in nursing.

“At a time in my life when I am struggling between family and getting an education for a second career, I have been so amazed at the generosity of the community,” Jordan commented. “And, how people I barely know, or have just met, step up to help or lend a helping hand. Your generous support will help toward tuition and books; I can only tell you how much this greatly appreciated.”

ACC’s nursing programs are accredited at the state and national levels, and students undergo classroom, laboratory, and clinical learning experiences. The college’s nursing students consistently excel at national licensure exams. In the 2009-10 year, the overall licensure pass rate for ACC’s associate degree nursing and vocational nursing graduates was 100 percent (source: Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board). In the 2009-10 year, the overall licensure pass rate for ACC’s associate degree nursing and vocational nursing graduates was 100 percent (source: Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board).

To apply for the Kinnser Software Scholars Program, applicants should complete the ACC General Scholarship Application (http://www.austincc.edu/foundation). Students must have a minimum 2.5 overall GPA and financial need, as determined by the ACC Financial Aid Office. The annual application deadline is May 1.

Olin College Receives $180,000 Grant from Luce Foundation to Fund Undergraduate Research for Women

Olin College Receives $ 180,000 Grant from Luce Foundation to Fund Undergraduate Research for Women

Needham, Mass. (PRWEB) November 29, 2011

Through its Clare Boothe Luce Program, the Henry Luce Foundation, Inc., of New York City, has made a grant of $ 180,000 to Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering to fund undergraduate research awards for up to 24 women students over a three-year period. The awards, which will begin in 2013, will provide stipends and other support to women students at Olin to pursue research with a faculty advisor. The recipients will be known as Clare Boothe Luce Research Scholars.

“We are very pleased that the Luce Foundation has recognized Olin’s leadership in preparing women for careers in science and engineering,” said Richard K. Miller, president of Olin College. “Recruiting talented women, as well as talented men, has always been an important goal of our admission activities. This is just one of the many ways we empower women for success as scientists and engineers. These awards will provide a significant boost to our efforts to attract high-performing women to our innovative program and prepare them to become top-notch scholars, engineers and innovators.”

The CBL Research Scholars Program at Olin College will provide women students who have completed their first or second year an opportunity to pursue a research project full-time in the summer and part-time during the following school year. Other activities in which Olin’s CBL Scholars will participate include a weekly facilitated discussion group open to all members of the Olin community; relationship building with mentors and peers; public presentation of their work; travel to professional conferences; publication of the results of their work; and, as appropriate, campus visits to explore graduate school and career options with researchers active in their fields of interest. The funding from the Luce Foundation will provide additional resources to supplement existing initiatives at Olin in support of women and men pursuing science and engineering careers.

“We are thrilled to begin the Clare Boothe Luce Research Program at Olin College,” said Sarah Spence Adams, project director and professor of mathematics and electrical and computer engineering at Olin. “The program will provide women students with additional meaningful research experiences and close mentoring relationships with dedicated faculty research advisors. The skills and perspectives our students gain through this program, including participating in professional technical conferences, will be transformative.”

Each award will provide a stipend for research during the summer, summer housing, an additional stipend and four course credits for research continued through the following academic year and access to additional funds to cover research-related expenses, conference registration fees and travel costs. Olin College will contribute faculty time, summer on-campus housing, mentoring activities and mentor support.

“We intend to build a strong support network among the Clare Booth Luce Research Scholars and the program mentors, and we hope our students will continue to use this network after graduation, while they are in graduate school or pursuing their careers,” said Adams. “Additionally, we hope to benefit students not directly involved in the program, for example through certain mentoring programs and activities that will be open to all students.”

Since its first grants in 1989, the Clare Boothe Luce Program has become the single most significant source of private support for women in science, mathematics and engineering. Clare Boothe Luce (1903-1987), the wife of Henry R. Luce, was a playwright, journalist, U.S. Ambassador to Italy and the first woman elected to Congress from Connecticut. Through her bequest establishing this program, she sought “to encourage women to enter, study, graduate and teach” in science, mathematics and engineering. The program is part of the New York-based Henry Luce Foundation, which was established in 1936 by Henry R. Luce, the co-founder and editor-in-chief of Time Inc. The Foundation focuses on broadening knowledge and encouraging the highest standards of service and leadership.

Opened in 2002, Olin College of Engineering is rapidly garnering a national reputation for innovation in engineering education. With only six classes of graduates and 430 alumni (43 percent women) to date, Olin is also emerging as a major producer of young women pursuing graduate degrees in science and engineering. Currently 45 percent of Olin’s student body is women, an unusually high proportion for an engineering school. Sixty-two Olin alumnae (35 percent) are currently enrolled in graduate programs, most of them at top-ranked universities, in areas including Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Bioengineering. Twenty-one of these women have received the prestigious NSF Graduate Research Fellowship (70 percent of Olin’s 30 NSF Graduate Fellowship recipients). Olin women have also won the Goldwater Scholarship and five Fulbright awards.
