The Missouri School Nutrition Association supports the Pursuing Excellence in Child Nutrition scholarship program for MSNA members wishing to become Certified and/or Credentialed!

SNA’s Certification Program is based on the standards of practice and indicators in the Keys to Excellence in School Food and Nutrition Programs that define nationally accepted standards for quality programs.  MSNA encourages every member to become nationally Certified and/or Credentialed through the SNA professional development program.  To help make it possible, MSNA will reimburse every member for the first year application fee associated with the level of Certification/Credentialing, along with the exam fee for Credentialing.

Certification:  All Levels

Any MSNA member pursuing SNA Certification can apply for reimbursement for the application fees ($20-$35).  After successfully achieving any new level of Certification, MSNA members can also apply for reimbursement for the application fee associated with the new level ($20-$35).

Credentialing:

MSNA members wishing to become Credentialed will be reimbursed for the testing fees ($325) when they successfully pass the examination.  In addition, newly Credentialed members will be eligible to receive reimbursement for their first year dues ($70).
