Fredrickson McGregor Education Endowment Fund for Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs)

With the dissolution of the Fredrickson McGregor Education Foundation for LPNs on December 31, 2024, funding for LPN educational grants was transferred to ARNET. ARNET is honoured to be the recipient of this endowment fund to support continuing education for LPNs.

This funding is for members of the College of Licensed Practical Nurses of Alberta (CLPNA) to enhance their nursing knowledge, skills and ability.

The Endowment Fund honours the contributions of Pat Fredrickson (retired CLPNA Executive Director/Registrar) and Rita McGregor (retired CLPNA Director of Practice & Policy) to the profession of Licensed Practical Nursing.

Pat Fredrickson

Pat Fredrickson was a woman of vision, leadership, and credibility who served the LPN profession for over 40 years, including 20 years as the Executive Director/Registrar of the College of Licensed Practical Nurses of Alberta. Throughout her career, Pat consistently demonstrated excellence in leadership through her professionalism, advocacy, communication, and passion for the profession.

Rita McGregor

Rita McGregor was a strong advocate for LPNs who inspired many to share their knowledge and passion for the profession during her 20 years as Director of Practice and Policy for the College of Licensed Practical Nurses of Alberta. Through her career Rita consistently demonstrated excellence in the provision of nursing education. 

Further details on the process for applying for this funding will be shared early in 2025. Thank you for your patience as we work on these details.
