 for Non Union Members

The LPN student funding application process is open to anyone not in a union, has at least 3 - 6 months of paid health care experience (and able to prove it with documentation), lives or works in the five boroughs of New York City AND will graduate by March 2010.

This program is funded by The Health Worker Retraining Initiative (HWRI) grant which concludes March 31, 2010. If you are not able to complete a nursing program by that time, you are not eligible for sponsorship through our Association at this time. (Subject to change).

Sorry, because of the time frame of grant opportunities, no exceptions can be made.

Currently enrolled LPN Students
If you would like to be considered for sponsorship, please email us at nursing@snya.org and put "Sponsorship" in the subject line and include your full name, address and contact phone number(s) in the body of the email. Please submit a copy of your dated acceptance letter from your school to which you have been accepted when you contact us.
