BATTLE CREEK, MI (WTVB) – In an effort to address what it being called a critical shortage of Emergency Medical Services workers in Michigan, Kellogg Community College has received a state grant that will allow up to three dozen students to receive $2,000 each to help them fund Basic Emergency Medical Technician training in 2024.
The grant was issued by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. KCC’s grant totals $75,000, of which $72,000 is allocated specifically for scholarships for up to 36 Basic EMT students.
EMS professor and KCC program coordinator Clark Imus called the Basic EMT scholarship “a game changer” both for individuals and the state’s EMS system.
Interested students must apply online at kellogg.academicworks.com/opportunities/2159 by March 4. The application is free.
