MyMichigan Health’s Grow Our Own Financial Assistance Program

MyMichigan Health is helping address healthcare staffing shortages through an innovative initiative called Grow Our Own, which provides financial assistance in the form of scholarships and tuition reimbursement to individuals who want to further their education for a career in healthcare. A few of these unique opportunities include the Dr. David Rayfield Endowed Scholarship, offered to eligible nursing students in Michigan who are seeking to become a bachelors-prepared registered nurse; The Dr. Peter Aliferis Memorial Scholarship, offered to eligible residents pursuing a career in the clinical laboratory science field or medical school; The Bailey Scholarship, which is designed to help mid-Michigan area individuals who are accepted into accredited health career programs and are interested in pursuing undergraduate, graduate or professional schooling. These, along with many other opportunities, help build a more robust workforce and assist those who are in, or entering, the healthcare field.
