There is no tuition cost for the 2026-27 offerings when you are a domestic student and agree to work as a CCA in Nova Scotia in an approved continuing care setting for 2 years after graduation. Tuition and most program costs (books, tools, etc.) and the student fees (college services) are covered by the Nova Scotia Government. Additional required program costs and some college fees are not covered and are the responsibility of the student. International students are not eligible for this funding support.
