How it works

01
SpouseWorks
Formerly MyCAA. Apply online, pick an approved school, and the fund pays the school directly. CNA is a listed portable career.
02
GI Bill
The school must be VA approved. Ask the school for its facility code before you apply.
03
Veteran Readiness and Employment
For veterans with a service connected disability. Covers training and pays a monthly allowance.

Who qualifies

Spouses of enlisted members and junior officers for SpouseWorks, up to $4,000 lifetime
Veterans and eligible service members for the GI Bill, at VA approved schools
Veterans with a service connected disability for Veteran Readiness and Employment

Know before you go

Many small CNA schools are not VA approved. SpouseWorks accepts more providers than the GI Bill.
Using GI Bill months on a short course is often a poor trade. Consider SpouseWorks or a voucher first.

0 sources that pay for CNA training. Filter by category or state, or search by name, city, or county.

Try another category or a shorter search, or get matched and we will find the route for you.

Funding, eligibility, and limits change each program year, so confirm with the source before you enroll.

Can I use SpouseWorks at a private CNA school?

Yes, if the school is listed in the program. Schools can apply to be added and the process takes about two months.

Tell us your county and situation and we text you the best one or two.
