Grant Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)

The College of Licensed Practical Nurses of Alberta received a $3.3 million grant from Alberta Health and Wellness to support continuing education needs of LPNs. In a one-time endowment, the Alberta Government established parameters for spending that ensure an ongoing fund to support LPN continuing education into the future.

Linda Stanger, Executive Director/Registrar of the CLPNA, is thrilled. “The fund is a welcome support and the timing is great! LPNs have demonstrated a commitment to lifelong learning - now there is money available to assist them. The current shortage of skilled nurses, the availability of appropriate post-basic programs, and this financial support for continuing education combine to create new opportunity!!” said Stanger.

The Grant Guidelines, which focus on quality educational experiences intended to enhance the role of the LPN, were approved by the CLPNA Council and will be administered by the Selections Committee of the Fredrickson-McGregor Education Foundation for LPNs.
