Desert Valley Hospital and Victor Valley College, both based in Victorville, Calif., are seeking approval to fund 64 students' tuition for the college's nursing program, reports the Daily Press.
The proposed $2.4 million contracts with Desert Valley will be for the next two school years. The VVC Foundation brokered the contracts which will cover the cost of tuition, books, uniforms, fees and immunizations for students agreeing to enter three years of employment at the hospital following graduation.
Desert Valley and VVC have signed the contracts, which will be put forth at a board of trustees meeting next Tuesday, according to the report. This is the second time the organizations have pursued such an agreement.
