Plus the title says "pay for ADN". Don't get my hopes up. I thought maybe I'd be able to find some government agency to pay for my ADN program. :)

Workforce Initiative Act or something like that. It's a scholarship program that pays for education in "high need" areas. They're paying for my RN program. To answer your question, OP, they paid for mine, but everything is up to the discretion of your advisor.

WIA paid for basic first aid class, same place I do CPR certification. But it really depends, the first year I was receiving funds they cut me reimbursement checks after I provided receipts. The last year they had to send 3rd party checks to the providers. They even paid for my uniforms, they made an agreement with the uniform shop and I just had to go pick them out. Good luck!

We didn't get our WIA acceptance until AFTER we were accepted to NS and we had to have BLS before applying to NS...so, in my case, NO, WIA did not pay for it.
