“[The Training Fund] helped me with the tuition. I just got accepted into the RN to BSN program through the Training Fund at Bellevue College … 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 has been a Training Fund member for more than a decade, and began the RN-BSN program in 2021.
