History of the Program

Conceived in 1955, the scholarship program is a true cornerstone of the A4CH’s mission. While the scholarship awards, focus, and process have changed over the intervening years, the outcome remains consistent: scholarship awards for students studying a healthcare discipline. More methodical awards tracking was initiated in 1992. Since then, scholarship awards have tallied just over $2,000,000. This academic year another group of scholarship awards will boost that tally.

For the 2025-2026 academic year, A4CH awarded approximately $72,000 in scholarships to 12 students
