Note: If you are a self pay student, nursing homes are required to reimburse you for the cost of the class!

Sponsorships are where an organization will hire you and then pay for your CNA training. This is a great option for many students as they will have a job waiting for them when they complete class.
With a scholarship, students are able to obtain funds to help them pay for classes from a variety of sources. Some scholarships may only include partial payments, and some may pay the entire amount of the program.
