The Northeast Florida Chapter of the American Red Cross is extending full scholarships for participation in Nurse Assistant Training (NAT) for eligible applicants through a grant from the Florida BrAIve Fund established at The Community Foundation in Jacksonville.
Applicants must demonstrate financial hardship, and/or lack of other available resources due to participation in the Iraq or Afghanistan conflicts. Applicants will be required to provide Florida ID to verify Florida residency in one of our servicing counties and a copy of official documentation verifying their or their family member’s service to Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) or Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF).
With Red Cross NAT training, you will master fundamental academic and social skills necessary to be a successful nurse assistant. You will gain new-found independence. And as a Red Cross nurse assistant, you’ll be an important part of a health care team that works together to provide compassionate care for nursing home residents and patients. It’s a job where you make a difference.
For more information, please call the SAF Mayport Service Center at 904-246-1395.
About the Community Foundation Jacksonville - The Community Foundation in Jacksonville works to stimulate philanthropy in order to build a better community. The oldest community foundation in Florida, it has assets of $161 million. The Florida BrAIve Fund was established at The Community Foundation in Jacksonville, and two other Florida-based community foundations, in late 2008 with funds from the Iraq-Afghanistan Deployment Impact Fund of the Los Angeles-based California Community Foundation. IADIF was created in response to a multitude of unmet needs arising among military service men and women and their families as a direct result of their deployment. |
