WVASN is proud to offer up to five certification grants to school nurses who have obtained national certification through the National Board for Certification of School Nurses.

The grants are a $100 incentive to qualifying school nurses.

Qualification Criteria

  • WVASN Membership for at least two years prior to obtaining certification.
  • Eligible applicants for the current grant period are those achieving national certification from November 1 to October 31 of each year.
  • The WVASN Board voted to include those who have renewed their certification in this lottery.
  • Preference will be given to those who receive initial certification.
  • If less than five applicants are received for initial certification, remaining funds will be used for those applicants who have renewed their national certification during the grant period (November 1- October 31).

School nurses who meet this criterion should email a copy of your certificate to Grants/Awards Chairperson, Jessica Thomas at jessica.r.thomas@k12.wv.us no later than November 1st. Applicants’ names will be pulled by lottery to designate those receiving the incentive.
