Scholarship Eligibility Criteria

AIHF scholarship applications must be submitted by early March of each year. The scholarship application form will be posted to this website in November.

Scholarships are awarded based on the availability of funds provided through contributions from AIHA members, individuals, corporations, and local sections. Previous AIHF scholarship recipients are NOT eligible to apply. Students do not apply for a specific scholarship. The AIHF Scholarship Selection Committee will determine the scholarship awards during the selection process.
