GRANT PROGRAM IMPACTED BY GLOBAL FINANCIAL TURMOIL

(December 23, 2008) - LPNs can expect fewer approvals of Grant Applications, except for courses leading to specializations such as Operating Room, Orthopaedics, and Immunization.

Due to recent economic downturn, the endowment for the Grant Program of the Fredrickson-McGregor Education Foundation for LPNs has declined in value and the interest from which Grant funds are distributed has diminished. Beginning with the October 31, 2008 Application period, the Foundation suspended approval on courses in the categories of Event Funding (non-credit courses) and Long Term Funding (Bachelor-degree courses) pending the growth of the endowment.

Members are invited to continue applying for Short Term Funding, especially for courses such as Operating Room, Orthopaedics, Leadership, Mental Health, Gerontology, Immunization, IM/ID, Infusion Therapy, Chronic Diseases and Foot Care.

Funding for the Grant Program was received by the College of Licensed Practical Nurses of Alberta from Alberta Health and Wellness to support continuing education needs of LPNs, and is distributed by the Selections Committee of the Fredrickson-McGregor Education Foundation for LPNs.
