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 more than $2.25 million in scholarships to over 1,400 PA students.
During the 2016 application cycle, 230 scholarship applications were submitted to the PA Foundation. 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.
