On March 31, 2026, Governor Spanberger signed Senate Bill 405, which transfers all existing nursing workforce incentive programs at VDH to the Virginia Health Workforce Development Authority\u2019s (VHWDA) Virginia Nursing Workforce Center, effective July 1, 2026. In preparation for this transition, VDH will no longer accept applications for programs that had a rolling deadline after April 30, 2026. This includes applications for the Mary Marshall Nursing Scholarship Program for Certified Nurse Assistants (MMNSP-CNA). Any MMNSP-CNA applications received by April 30, 2026, will be reviewed by VDH for processing. Please bookmark the Virginia Nursing Workforce Center\u2019s website https:\/\/vanwc.org\/<\/a>\u00a0to get the latest information on MMNSP-CNA and how to apply in the future.<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
