NAPANc has allotted $1000 per quarter for funding requests. Monies not used within the current funding period will be carried over to the following one. Amounts available per funding period will be reassessed on an annual basis.
Funds will be distributed to the member requesting the funding upon successful completion of the course attended/ taken. Proof of attendance/successful completion will be required to be submitted to the NAPANc Executive at info@NAPANc.ca
