How to Find Government Grants For CNA Training
- 1). Contact a hospital or nursing home you wish to work for. The government offers grants to health care facilities yearly to train there workers. Using such grant money, many facilities will pay for your CNA training if you sign a contract saying that you will work for them for a year (some only require six months).
- 2). If you rather not be tied down by a contract contact a local technical school or community college that has a CNA certification. Talk with the admissions office about government grants you qualify for. You may qualify for enough grants to pay for your entire CNA coarse.
- 3). If you are unable to take time out financially before attending a four to six week training coarse, think about applying for a job as a Nurses Assistant instead of a Certified Nurses Assistant. After you have worked for the company inquire about them training you as a CNA. They will use the same government grant money to train you, but since you already work for them you will most likely get paid training.
