Wrap-Around Services

The Gateway-In Project© Health Care Social Worker provides students with a valuable opportunity for financial support during their training journey. Each eligible student is entitled to receive up to $3,000 in reimbursement, assisting them in offsetting the costs associated with their program participation. This financial support is referred to as a "wrap-around fund," aimed at easing the financial burden on students. Students have a 30-day window following their graduation to submit their reimbursement requests. Use the appropriate form link below to send in your reimbursement request upon graduation.

How do I get my reimbursement?

  • Throughout your training, keep track of all expenses and receipts.
  • Upon graduation, complete and submit the reimbursement request form (provided by your program coordinator) with all supporting receipts  – see this example on how to complete the reimbursement form.
  • Keep a look out for confirmation by email. We will send any updates or corrections needed via email.
  • You'll receive an email from Melio Services with instructions to create a secure account for direct deposit*. The Gateway-In Project© staff does not need or see your banking information. Please note that all submitted reimbursement forms go to The Gateway-In Project© Managers for processing.
  • Please allow 45 business days from the day of submission before reaching out to staff for updates.
  • After your Melio Services direct deposit account is set up and your request has been processed, you'll receive funds via direct deposit.

Please note that as The Gateway-In Project© Health Care Social Worker grant comes to a close, all Wrap-Around Reimbursement requests MUST come in prior to August 31st, 2024 for our team to have the necessary resources to process your request.
