The Jackson College Foundation offers a wide range of scholarships designed to make college more affordable for students and to support them on their academic journeys. Foundation scholarships help students overcome financial barriers and focus on their goals by awarding funds that do not require repayment. These scholarships are made possible through the generosity of donors — individuals, businesses, and organizations — who believe in the transformative power of education. SCHOLARSHIPS FROM THE JACKSON COLLEGE FOUNDATION: INVESTING IN STUDENT SUCCESS
“The emotional impact is real,” Case said. “There were a lot of tears during the death and dying scenario — and it was just a manikin that passed! But students learn how to manage those situations, what precautions to take and what to avoid.” REALISTIC DESIGN To support this immersive learning, the renovated space will include a central collaboration hub and four patient “bays.” The layout features areas simulating a medical office, ICU step-down rooms, a birthing suite, an emergency and trauma room, a fully equipped operating room with a pre-op area, and even an ambulance corridor for EMS training. Additional storage and workspaces will be available to support faculty and students. To enhance familiarity with real-world settings, the center’s design and color scheme reflect the look of Henry Ford Jackson Hospital — helping students feel more at home when they enter the workforce. “I think the realism will be the most important factor,” said Case. “Students will take everything they’ve learned in the classroom, come into this space, and act as if they’re treating a real patient. They’ll use their skills and critical thinking to build confidence and competence.” This innovative project is made possible by a generous $1.5 million grant from Alro Steel and the Alvin Glick Foundation. This donation helps establish a realistic, team-oriented medical training environment that truly brings learning to life. This is where we want students to make mistakes — because they’ll never forget them. When they care for real patients, they’ll already have the skills and confidence they need.” Sarah Case, Simulation and Innovation Center Coordinator & Instructor
