Your health system needs skilled employees, and students want a path to a career without the added burden of student loan debt. Scholars Network is a solution for both. We work with each of our health system partners to tailor a sponsorship model that works for them. We create win-win partnerships between health systems and schools, offering you early access to talent through education sponsorship.

How It Works
1. Plan
We work with health systems to identify staffing needs in key positions such as entry level nurses, nurse anesthetists, and a range of allied health positions. Together, we identify a set of higher education partners to meet these needs.
2. Recruit
Scholars Network partners with universities and recruits students to join your team. We drive early engagement to immerse future employees in your culture and care model.
3. Onboard
Sponsorship payments do not begin until the first day of licensed employment. If a Scholar leaves before their work commitment is complete, you have no further financial or legal obligation.

- Significantly cut recruiting costs and risks

Being able to complete my degree knowing I have a job secured after graduation and without the burden of increasing student loan debt is truly amazing. College is much less stressful now that I can dedicate my time to studying rather than working to pay for college. This experience has been such a blessing and played a huge part in my ability to become a registered nurse!
