No. Unfortunately Apple iPads do not have the ability to scan NFC tags.
It's possible to purchase bluetooth readers (try digital-logic) which will act as remote NFC reading devices and then communicate with the iPad. However, there's no native (built-in) software support so you would either need to build your own software or find an app that can handle the device connection.
