Northern Kentucky University received a $1.1 million three-year grant from the Economic Development Administration’s (EDA) University Center program. The grant will support NKU’s innovative efforts in expanding its Human Services and Addiction program, aiming to reduce health disparities in the underserved communities.
Northern Kentucky University has been awarded $2.4 million from the National Institute of Health’s Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to provide students in NKU human services programs with scholarships, stipends for field placement and apprenticeship support. Human services encompass a range of professions that support individuals in improving their quality of life.
Using a grant, the university started Amplify NKU, an effort to connect students, particularly BIPOC, LGBTQ, and international students, to the broader life of the university. A key aspect of the program is empowering students, rather than staff or administrators, to share information and create connections as a way to form lasting bonds among peers.
The $2.9 million three-year grant will support NKU’s innovative efforts in expanding its Human Services and Addiction program, aiming to reduce health disparities in the underserved communities.
