AUPHA will soon be accepting nominations for the Filerman Prize for Educational Leadership and the John D. Thompson Prize for Young Investigators.
Filerman Prize for Educational Leadership
The Filerman Prize recognizes pedagogical excellence among AUPHA member faculty. Each year an outstanding faculty member at an AUPHA member program receives this honor from his/her colleagues in recognition of their contribution to the field of health administration education. Contact Carly Evans with questions.
John D. Thompson Prize for Young Investigators
The Thompson Prize recognizes young investigators based on their contributions to the research literature in the field of health services. The Prize is awarded to a faculty member from an AUPHA member program whose work may be in any of the several fields or disciplines contributing to knowledge in health services. Contact Carly Evans with questions.
Look for nomination information in early January.
Additionally, encourage students to apply for the Bachrach Family Scholarship and the Corris Boyd Scholars Program. Applications will be available in early 2019.
Bachrach Family Scholarship
The Bachrach Family Scholarship for Excellence in Healthcare Administration 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 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 education, qualified students who can demonstrate an economic need for such financial support, and/or qualified women applicants. Contact Carly Evans with questions.
Corris Boyd Scholars Program
The HCA Corris Boyd Scholars Program was established in honor of a healthcare leader who dedicated his life to diversity and excellence in leadership – especially among people of color.
Each recipient will receive a $40,000 scholarship towards tuition and other expenses at the AUPHA full-member graduate school program of his or her choice. The award will be paid in four installments. Contact Carly Evans with questions.
