Scholarships Available for 16th Annual Rural Multiracial & Multicultural Health Conference: Community Health: Equity and Wellness – Let’s Make It Happen
December 1-3, 2010 Tucson, Arizona
The National Rural Health Association has scholarship funds available for students and community members with a critical need for financial support with conference expenses. Scholarships will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis, to people who meet the eligibility criteria specified on the enclosed application form, and who are unable to attend the 15th Annual Rural Multiracial and Multicultural Health Conference without such support.
In an effort to foster collaboration within communities, 10 scholarships will be given to students and 10 to non-health community members. The scholarships will help expose these students and community members to health issues related to multiracial and multicultural populations in their community. It will also encourage their participation in resolving these issues through positive solutions.
The scholarship will cover the conference registration fee ($349) and three nights’ hotel accommodations (Wednesday-Friday: $358) at the La Paloma Resort & Spa (NRHA will put your room on the hotel’s Master Account). NRHA will provide a stipend of $293 to offset your travel expenses. Your total scholarship award will be $1,000.
Scholars selected are expected to provide their own funds to pay for their remaining expenses. Scholarship recipients will be notified of their award upon receipt and review of the application. Scholars will receive their stipend once they arrive at the conference.
Applicants meeting the eligibility criteria will be awarded scholarships on a first-come, first-served basis until all funds have been committed.
