I didn’t use DECAL Scholars when I originally paid for my CDA training. Can I submit my receipt for reimbursement?

Yes, you can submit your receipt for reimbursement, provided you submit your complete application with all supporting documents within 6 months of the date you paid for the CDA training. To be reimbursed, you must include your receipt as proof of payment in place of the CDA trainer’s invoice.

Please note that your DECAL Scholars CDA Training Scholarship application cannot be submitted after you’ve already submitted your DECAL Scholars CDA Application Fee Scholarship application.
