Nursing Student Sponsorship Program allows students entering their nursing classes in a two year associate's degree nursing program to apply for sponsorship. For selected students, this program reimburses tuition, fees, books and other required expenses for completion of the registered nurse educational program. During the sponsorship the student works in a support role within the hospital. Following receipt of their RN licensure, sponsorship recipients complete a minimum two-year commitment as an RN at KCH.
