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.

Public Service Grants Community Funding Provides Medical Alerts for Seniors with NO Monthly Bills

Public Service Grants Community Funding Provides Medical Alerts for Seniors with NO Monthly Bills.

Community Service Grants, Donations, Public Service Grants and Various Local Funding Sources Have Come Together to Provide Community Seniors with Emergency Alert Systems with No Monthly Bills.

Churches, Senior Groups and many local Senior Centers have worked with Assistive Technology Services in Tennessee to provide No Monthly Cost Emergency Alert Systems for the seniors of their community.

The great part is once the local funding is secured through donations, grants or other sources the systems are purchased in bulk and there is never another penny to pay to use them.

“We just pay once and we are done” says R. Gates of Virginia.

As the senior population grows so does the need for them to have an emergency alert system. With 1/3 of all seniors falling at home each year the need is huge. Of the 1/3 that fall 1/3 of those will pass away within the first year of the injury.

Seniors are having a difficult time just getting by financially these days. Most seniors just can not afford the to a month for a monitored medical alert system.

Assistive Technology Services has the solution. Our medical alert systems have No Monthly Charges PERIOD. Once you buy the system (starts at only .99) you never pay a penny ever again to use it.

So how does this work? The system will call up to 4 telephone numbers that you program into it. It could be a neighbor, a friend, a cell phone or even 911. Some communities have the system call the local fire department instead of 911. Some communities have the system call a contracted home health care agent.

By calling these non-monitored numbers you are bypassing the big monitoring fees and saving hundreds of dollars each year for the senior.

How do churches get involved? Many churches have put together programs to raise funds through community fund drives and donations from members. By doing this they can purchase the emergency alert systems in bulk and save even more. At the same time they are providing a great outreach to the community and the members of their local church.

Assistive Technology Services is a Christian based company and welcomes any organization to contact us regarding fund raising and bulk purchases of any of our no monthly fee alert systems for their community.

“May you know the Glory of God and may he Bless you”
