Area Association of Healthcare Recruiters Scholarship Program
The Program
PAAHCR has established a scholarship program to help finance
healthcare related education for relatives and/or friends of
PAAHCR members. Awards are given without regard to race, color,
creed, religion, sex, disability, sexual orientation or national

Applicants can be a child, spouse, significant other, friend
or family member of a current PAAHCR member in good standing.
Applicants must be enrolled in the 1st or 2nd year of an eligible
undergraduate program or enrolled in an eligible accredited

to indirect or direct patient care ( e.g. nursing, therapies,
lab technician, etc.)
Scholarship Awards
Awards are $1000 each. Two PAAHCR scholarships will be awarded each year.

Recipient Selection
