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.

Additionally, encourage students to apply for the Bachrach Family Scholarship and the Corris Boyd Scholars Program. Applications are available now on the AUPHA website.
Bachrach Family Scholarship
AUPHA is pleased to announce 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 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.
