Scholarship awards range from $500 to $1,500, and one $2500 scholarship may be awarded for an applicant that demonstrates exceptional commitment to aging services.
Scholarships are a great way to help your employees achieve their higher education goals and advance their careers within the aging services field where they are so needed. You can promote the scholarship program in your setting with a flyer which includes additional details.
Applicants can apply here. Applications must be received by 5 p.m. on Monday, June 7.
These scholarships are made possible thanks to the generosity of the organizations and individuals who support the Foundation’s Annual Golf Tournament and Silent Auction.
