CNA SCHOLARSHIP
Deadline:April 2, 2023-Amount of award-$500
Apply now for the CNAfreetraining.com annual scholarship! As one of the internet’s leading providers of free CNA training materials like our free CNA practice test, CNA salary information, and CNA skills test tips, we know that employers are always looking for qualified CNAs. We want to do our part to make sure there are qualified applicants for them to hire by offering a scholarship to aspiring CNAs. If you are interested in applying for the scholarship, read through the details below and then fill out the application form.
“As a first-generation college student and someone from a working-class family, affording tuition had been a concern of mine since last year, especially because of the tragedies that were brought on by the recent pandemic. With this aid, I am able to continue my nursing education and relieve the financial stress that affected my family. I am now able to focus more on my education rather than worry about how I would afford the cost of attendance. The opportunities that this financial aid has given me has impacted my life in a beneficial way that I am forever grateful for. Without the help that I would get from this scholarship, my focus on my studies would not be as undivided as it will be. After I receive my BSN, I hope to go directly into the workforce and apply the skills and lessons that I have learned right away. Nursing provides me with many different paths that I could take, for example, I could do travel nursing for a few years so that I can travel, meet new people, and receive the opportunity to learn new skills from facilities all across the country. Once I have gained experience working in the field, I would work my way up in my career and return back to school one day to become a Nurse Practitioner. The main thing I want to do in my career is to establish relationships and connections with my coworkers and patients and be a friend that they can depend on in their times of need. This scholarship has brought me one step closer to achieving my goal and I am grateful for that.“
HOW TO ENTER
To be eligible for the scholarship you will need to fill out all of the fields in our submission form (see below). Winner will be based on our staff’s determination of the candidate with the most compelling story on why they would like to become a CNA and why they feel they deserve the award.
