“I just got accepted into the RN to BSN program through the Training Fund at Bellevue College. The Training Fund helped me with tuition. The process was easy: Fill out your application, submit your stuff, and you’re going to be guaranteed a slot in the program with Bellevue College. I’m like, ‘Yes, here we go! I’m ready!‘
The Training Fund is awesome. I cannot believe you guys did this for us. And that’s fantastic!”
– Monica Clark (Training Fund member for more than a decade, Began RN-BSN program in 2021)
