myCNAjobs is committed to supporting the education of up-and-coming certified nursing professionals in the United States. Our CNA scholarship program is for students currently pursuing a certified nursing assistant degree with plans to enroll within 60-days of the application deadline date.
AWARD
Each awarded scholarship is $250.00. Further, myCNAjobs has deep relationships with CNA schools nationwide. Some schools may be willing to double the scholarship – however, this is not guaranteed. After the recipient is awarded, a myCNAjobs representative will work directly with the student to submit payment to the local CNA school.

Submit the essay to info@myCNAjobs.com before the deadline and include full contact information – name, email, phone, and a list of the schools you’re considering attending. Excerpts from your submission essay may be posted in the comment section on this page (contact details and name will be left private).
- Social signals! Be visible. Talk with us on Twitter and Facebook. Comment on the blog below. Let us know you applied and have your friends share WHY you’re the perfect fit for this scholarship.
