Robert McRae CNA Advancement Scholarship Fund
This fund was established to provide academic scholarships to CNAs who are enrolled in a nursing school and frontline staff members of a senior care facility who wish to become CNAs. It was created in honor of the CNAs who had a positive impact on Robert McRae’s final days. Their care and attention to both his physical and mental well being provided members of his family with the comfort of knowing his care was their top priority. It is designed to help employed CNAs pursuing training as a nurse, and employed frontline staff members become a CNA.
