Certification Grant

The WOCNCB is seeking certificants who are highly motivated, currently in clinical practice, and who are in a position which will enable them to disseminate knowledge acquired through certification to others in their practice setting.

The Wound, Ostomy and Continence Nursing Certification Board's Certification Grant Program supports the mission to:

Promote the highest standard of consumer care and safety by providing credentialing in the areas of wound, ostomy, continence and foot care nursing.

Candidates should consider the mission of the WOCNCB carefully before applying and expect to explain in an essay how being awarded a certification grant will support the mission.

If you are planning to recertify OR to become certified for the first time, we encourage you to apply for a certification grant of up to $450 as reimbursement toward fees. Up to three applicants each year will be awarded a certification grant. Applications are due no later than January 31st for the grant year and recipients are notified no later than April 30th in the grant year.
