Financial Assistance Resources

The programs listed below may be able to help cover the cost of CNA, CNA Plus, and/or CBRF training if you meet their eligibility requirements. Since we are not directly involved with these programs, we encourage you to contact them directly with any questions or for more detailed information.

Please Note: We would love to have you join us at Health Heroes Academy, but these funding resources may allow you to use their assistance at other approved training sites as well. Our goal is to share these opportunities to support your journey into healthcare. If you know of additional programs that should be listed here, please email us so we can include them.
