Tuition & funding

Know what training costs before you enroll.

The academy-approved admissions note lists CNA tuition separately from the state final exam expense. Confirm all current terms with admissions for your class.

Two different payments

Academy tuition and state testing.

The September 22, 2026 academy-approved admissions note lists $1,600 tuition. After graduating, students schedule and pay for the separate $135 state final exam through Missouri TMU. Taylor Nursing Academy does not collect the $135 as tuition.

Reconfirm price and effective date before enrolling. TMU controls exam availability; the academy does not promise a testing date.

What else to ask

Get the full payment picture.

The current website says tuition includes a background check, name badge, and uniforms. It also lists possible charges for unreturned or damaged loaned books, a binder, and extra transcripts. These details need current academy confirmation.

Published extras and terms to verify

Live page says the background check, name badge, and uniforms are included
Loaned books: $70 if damaged or not returned; binder: $35; extra transcript: $15
Old enrollment form lists a $400 deposit and installments, but it may be outdated
Withdrawal and refund rules need a current signed agreement

Needs academy confirmation before these charges or terms are used for enrollment decisions. The old agreement conflicts with newer pricing guidance.

Ways to pay

Ask which options apply to you.

The live site describes self-pay, possible workforce or grant support, and optional Climb financing subject to approval, rates, and terms. State grant eligibility and Taylor's program participation have not been independently verified.
