Supporting Keila’s Advancement in Nursing

When Keila began the tuition assistance application process with Michigan Works! Northeast Consortium, she was working as a contingent LPN while pursuing her Registered Nurse degree at Alpena Community College. Balancing full-time coursework with part-time employment made finances tight, and the application process took extra time as she worked through the required steps.

Her perseverance paid off. Keila was awarded tuition assistance for the Winter and Fall 2025 semesters, helping relieve financial stress and allowing her to stay focused on her education.

Keila has since graduated from Alpena Community College with her RN credential and is now preparing to take the NCLEX to become a licensed registered nurse. She will also be starting her new role as a graduate nurse at MyMichigan Saginaw in the coming weeks.
