Apply for our exam scholarship

The APNCC exam scholarship was established in 2016 to provide scholarship opportunities to qualified activity professionals who are preparing for the board certification awarded by APNCC. The scholarship is for $100, to be used solely toward the expense of the APNCC exam. APNCC recognizes the strength of activity professionals in the industry and has seen the financial reductions of employer support for continuing education and certification expenses. No matter the level of care you provide activity services to, if you are ready to take the APNCC exam, take the time to apply for our scholarship.
