CMH offering certified nursing assistant (CNA) scholarships
Contact: Sarah Bello
Funds available for Clatsop Community College students
CMH is offering scholarships that will pay for tuition to attend the certified nursing assistant training program at Clatsop Community College during summer 2024.
CMH’s goal with the scholarships is to assist in pursuing a Certified Nursing Assistant certificate (CNA). Though receipt of scholarship does not guarantee employment at CMH, the intent will be to offer the opportunity to apply for available positions and interview all scholarship recipients.
Five scholarships will be offered on basis of a completed application and interview. Applications will be accepted as space allows until summer quarter begins on July 1.
Once certified, the CNA must apply for a position using the CMH application process to be considered for an CNA position.
CMH will pay all tuition, fees and required book and material costs for the program. To qualify, applicants must:
- Successfully complete the program and CNA course;
- Receive a valid Oregon CNA license after passing the state licensure test and provide proof to CMH;
- Be accepted to a full- or part-time CNA position at CMH;
- Complete and obtain satisfactory results for pre-employment drug screening, criminal background check, applicable license verification, and reference checks; and
- Maintain employment with CMH for one year without resignation or termination.
Scholarships are awarded and designated by a CMH review committee. Recipients will only be eligible to receive the scholarship once.
Scholarship recipients who are hired at CMH and resign or are terminated for cause within 12 months of their start date at CMH will be required to repay the scholarship to CMH, which is valued at $3,800.
