Bachrach Family Scholarship for Excellence in Healthcare Administration
AUPHA is pleased to announce the acquisition of the Bachrach Family Scholarship for Excellence in Healthcare Administration. Formerly managed by the Medical Group Management Association (MGMA), the scholarship was established to create an endowed scholarship with the intent of creating a durable legacy to the education of students in areas and at institutions that contributed to the success of David and Linda Bachrach.
The $5,000 Scholarship will be available to students enrolled “full-time” in a CAHME accredited residential program in healthcare administration during their second year of the program of study. It recognizes their demonstrated successful academic performance as an undergraduate, as well as during their first year of graduate study, with preference to otherwise qualified students who are the first in their immediate family to pursue graduate level education, qualified students who can demonstrate an economic need for such financial support, and/or qualified women applicants.
The Selection Committee, chaired by Julia Costich, PhD, JD, will be finalized shortly. Additional details on the nominations process for the Bachrach Scholarship will be included in the April issue of the Exchange. The recipient will be selected in late summer of 2017 and will be in attendance at the 2018 Leaders Conference in March of 2018.
