FBA Education Fund: Other Funding Sources
There are a number of other funding sources available for long-term training. Every training and educational fund has its own set of rules. Funding sources require financial information from applicants and often expect the participant to pay some of the training costs.
All funding sources will ask you to sign an agreement related to Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy (FOIPOP) that allows the agency to collect personal information for reporting and statistics. Names are not used in these reports.
All members are encouraged to tap into other sources of funding in order to stretch the money in the FBA Education Fund.
