The HCA Education Funding program includes three streams of funding: the Financial Incentive program, the HCA Tuition Bursary program and the Workplace Tutor program.
Students who were enrolled in a licensed HCA program between Jan. 1 and June 30, 2022, are eligible for up to $4,000 through the Financial Incentive program if they agree to work a minimum of 1,000 hours with an identified continuing care operator within one year of starting employment. The amount of funding depends on the geographic location of their continuing care operator.
Eligible HCA students may receive up to $9,000 through the HCA Tuition Bursary program. Students must be enrolled in a licensed HCA program beginning after July 1, 2022. Preference will be given to students who are attending school full time or are already working for a continuing care operator.
The Workplace Tutor program provides funding for identified continuing care operators to educate HCAs at their workplace. Students may work as HCAs as they complete the program. Employers must have a regulated nurse to teach students in the lab and supervise formal clinical courses. Operators are eligible to receive up to $9,400 per tutor.
- There is no deadline for applying. Funding will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis if eligibility criteria is met and required documentation is submitted. Funding will be disbursed to eligible students until it is exhausted.
