Foster G. McGaw Scholarship

The Association of University Programs in Health Administration’s (AUPHA) Foster G. McGaw Scholarship provides financial support to undergraduate and graduate students in health administration. Scholarship funds are awarded each year to all AUPHA full undergraduate and graduate programs. The scholarship is awarded to undergraduate students in HPA who have demonstrated a commitment to academic excellence and have the potential to make an impact in the health care industry.

Eligibility: Nominees should be of senior class standing, have a GPA of 3.5 or higher, and have demonstrated leadership potential. Both residential and World Campus students are eligible. HPA faculty nominate students for the award which are then reviewed by the awards committee.

Nominations should be shared with the Chair of the Awards Committee by the end of February.
