For Greater Hamilton Area Chapter members, we are accepting applications for our chapter’s Education Fund and the deadline is to November 19, 2021. You may apply for two categories of awards:
A) Individual Awards (up to $600)
Recipients will receive partial financial reimbursement for scholarly activities that are directly related to gerontological nursing practice. This could include:
- courses, seminars, certificate programs, attendance at conferences (e.g., CGNA Conference)
- course work at a recognized college or university where the topic is related to gerontological nursing practice – members may apply every two years for course funding, but priority will be given to first-time applicants.
- CNA Gerontological Nursing Certification Exam
(B) Funding for an educational program or resource (up to $600) that will benefit a group of individuals in a long term care or retirement home setting. This could include:

Please refer to the attached policy or reach out to Maureen Montemuro mmontemuro@gmail.com for more information and we wish you all the best in your application.

Thank you.
Sincerely,
Greater Hamilton Area Chapter GNAO
