ONP Grants and Pilot Projects

Kids in Biology Lab

In fall 2024, the Office of Nursing Programs (ONP) launched a grant initiative in collaboration with Board of Nursing-approved schools across Michigan. The project supported summer nursing camps designed to introduce primary and secondary school-aged children to nursing as a potential career path.

To strengthen outreach and enhance the student experience, ONP provided supplemental funding to expand and enrich existing camp programs. 10 nursing schools participated, receiving support for their 2025 summer camps. The project yielded positive outcomes and measurable success in engagement and impact.

At the conclusion of the project, each school submitted an implementation plan detailing their camp activities, the number of students reached, and other valuable insights.

Schools or organizations interested in offering similar nursing camps are encouraged to contact the ONP for guidance and resources. For more information, please reach out to Casey Klein, ONP Section Manager, at kleinc7@michigan.gov.
