PA Foundation scholarships support PA students who demonstrate a passion for the profession and healthcare-related community service. Since the program’s inception, the PA Foundation has awarded close to $2.3 million in scholarships to over 1,400 PA students.
More than 630 PA students submitted applications for the 2018 scholarship cycle. Recipients were selected based on their understanding of the PA role, what they expect to accomplish as a PA, and relevant volunteer/community service activities.
