Funding your training
Explore how you could pay for CNA training.
Start with the full tuition picture. Then check the rules for each funding option and ask admissions which ones currently apply to this program.
Two separate applications
The state grant and Taylor admissions have different forms.
The academy's live aid page points students to Missouri's Fast Track Workforce Incentive Grant. The state reviews grant eligibility and awards. Taylor Nursing Academy separately reviews admission to its CNA class. Applying for one does not complete the other.
Needs academy confirmation: Taylor's current participation, this CNA program's eligibility, and how an award is applied to tuition. Funding is never guaranteed.
Your next steps
- Read the official Missouri Fast Track student guidance and current eligibility rules.
- Use the Missouri State Student Financial Aid Portal for the grant application. Have the tax and other documents the state requests ready.
- Complete Taylor's separate school application and contact admissions about timing.
- Wait for the state's decision; ask Taylor how any confirmed award affects your balance.
Eligibility questions
Check current state rules before you count on aid.
The state guidance covers Missouri residency, age or prior educational status, income, eligible programs, and application documents. Requirements can change by award year. The live academy page lists specific income figures and an age summary; this preview does not repeat them until the current award year and program eligibility are verified.
State application help: 1-800-473-6757, option 4, as listed on the academy's live aid page. Confirm the support menu when calling.
Have these ready
The live page advises students to have their most recent Missouri Form 1040 available. Follow the portal's current instructions for every required document. Ask admissions for help distinguishing the state form from the academy application.

Self-pay and optional financing.
Students can ask the academy about self-pay methods and any current installment terms. The live site also links to optional Climb Credit financing. Climb has its own application, approval, rates, and terms; a school application is not a financing approval.
The published $135 state exam expense is separate from the academy's $1,600 tuition and, according to the academy-approved note, is not included in Climb financing.
Ask before committing
- What amount is due before the first day?
- Are payment plans currently offered, and what are the terms?
- What are the withdrawal and refund rules?
- Which funding programs currently accept this CNA cohort?
What does CNA training cost?
The September 22 academy-approved admissions note lists $1,600 academy tuition. A separate $135 state final exam expense is paid through TMU after graduation.
Needs academy confirmation: reconfirm these amounts and effective date for the next cohort.
See tuition detailsWhat is included, and are there extra charges?
The live program page says the background check, name badge, and uniforms are included. It lists possible charges for damaged or unreturned loaned books, a binder, and extra transcripts.
Needs academy confirmation: verify inclusions, charges, deposit, payment schedule, and refund terms.
Review costsHow do I apply for Missouri Fast Track?

Needs academy confirmation: confirm current institution and program participation and how any award applies.
See grant stepsCan I use financing or self-pay?
The live site describes self-pay and links to optional Climb Credit financing. Climb has its own application, approval, rates, and terms. The separate $135 exam expense is not included in Climb financing according to the academy-approved note.
