FINANCIAL RESOURCES and OPTIONS to pay for your care4you2 STNA class 

As we learn of different options that exist for program fee assistance, we will add that information to this page.

1. Pay on your own:  You can register and pay for your classes with cash, a debit or credit card (VISA, Master card or Discover) or a money order.  We do NOT accept personal checks.  If you register online, you must use a PAYPAL account to pay the deposit or in full for your classes.  If you register over the phone you must do so with a debit or credit card deposit or payment in full.  If you pay in person, you can use any of the payment methods (except PAYPAL) listed above.

2. Loan: You may apply at your financial institution for a loan.  If you are approved for a loan, you WILL have to re-pay the financial institution the money you borrowed PLUS interest.  YOur financial institution will give you details and an application if you qualify to apply for a loan.  Some credit unions may offer small loans to cover the cost of the program, uniform and state test if you are a member or perhaps of you are an immediate family member of a member of the credit union.

3. Employment/Training Services Funded Programs:  Many programs exist that assist qualified applicants with funding for programs such as STNA classes.  Below you will find some information about existing programs and links you may click on for additional information.
