APNF Funds Ozarka College Nursing Tuition Stipends

Published on June 22, 2015


With support from the Arkansas Partnering for Nursing's Future (APNF) grant, Ozarka College awarded  twelve students in the LPN program at Ozarka College - Mammoth Spring $1,000 tuition stipends for the summer term. 100% of the LPN students enrolled in this summer term, at Mammoth Spring, received this award; that's $12,000 awarded in just one term! The summer tuition stipends mark the third round of student support funds for Ozarka College LPN students through the APNF grant, an initiative providing direct tuition support for more than 70 LPN students since summer 2013.    

The Arkansas Partnership for Nursing's Future (APNF) is a partnership between the Arkansas Department of Workforce Services (DWS), the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) and participating four-year institutions, and the Arkansas Community Colleges (ACC) and participating two-year institutions.

Regarding ACC and participating two-year institutions, the primary goals include increasing distance delivery opportunities for Licensed Practical Nursing and Associate Degree in Nursing students and increasing the number of students matriculated into CNA, LPN, and RN programs by spring 2016.

"The APNF initiative enabled the College to accelerate its presence and offerings at the Mammoth Spring location, " said Joshua Wilson, Ozarka College AVP for Planning and IR.   "As the grant was designed to support LPN program expansion, the College was quickly poised to capitalize on the funding opportunity to advance nursing education in Fulton, Oregon and Howell Counties, a historically underserved market.
