Carroll College will be awarded a $440,000 grant from the state of Montana through its investment in the Accelerate Montana rapid workforce training program. This grant will allow Carroll College to offer a total of 32 scholarships of $12,500 to students entering the Accelerated Nursing and Master of Social Work programs.
The scholarship application can be submitted by any student who has been accepted to begin the Accelerated Nursing or Master of Social Work programs in Summer or Fall 2022. Prospective students will receive more information regarding the scholarships and detailed instructions on how to apply once they have been accepted to the program.
Carroll’s Accelerated Nursing track is designed for those who have earned a baccalaureate or higher degree in a non-nursing field and are looking for new opportunities. Students in this track build on their previous degree(s) to achieve a second bachelor’s degree that would enable them to become a licensed Registered Nurse. Building on a long history of excellence in nursing education at Carroll College, this 15-month intensive track designed for adult learners includes coursework and clinical experiences designed to make these graduates immediately employable and effective in one of the most in-demand career fields in the country.
Carroll’s clinically focused Master of Social Work (MSW) program trains students to serve individuals, families, groups, and communities severely impacted by serious health, mental health and substance use challenges, poverty, and other social problems. The clinical orientation of the program was informed by an assessment of Montana-based service providers, who indicated an extreme need for social workers able to effectively apply evidence-based practices while collaborating with other healthcare disciplines in diverse practice settings. The MSW program is in the process of completing full accreditation and has been approved to enroll students.
