Please note that you need to complete an application to the school with the $10 enrollment fee, a $153 background check fee, as well as a completed Novant Health scholarship application, to be considered for admission and a Novant Health scholarship. Applicants with the most completed files will take priority for admissions to Sankofa’s Nurse Aide I program. The $153 non-refundable enrollment fee does not guarantee admissions—nor does it hold a spot in a class for you. This covers your background check, drug screening, and your application processing.
