AUPHA Announces New Scholarship Program for UPD Student Inductees

The Upsilon Phi Delta Honor Society aims to encourage interest in academic preparation and recognize academic achievement and outstanding contributions to the profession. AUPHA is pleased to introduce a new scholarship program, dedicated to inductees of Upsilon Phi Delta chapter’s across the AUPHA membership.

Beginning in September 2014, several five hundred dollar scholarships will be awarded to UPD chapters annually, based on the funds available. Chapter recipients will be selected randomly, and all eligible chapters will have the opportunity to receive the award before any chapters may receive it a second time. Selected chapters will choose the most deserving student inductee to receive the scholarship at their program.

Students currently enrolled in a healthcare management program should use the award for education-related expenses, including tuition, books and materials, or room and board, and graduating students will have the opportunity to use the award for educational or professional development opportunities, including registration fees, travel expenses, or professional attire.

Chapter Advisors should ensure their chapter is eligible to receive the award by following the below minimum guidelines:

  • In compliance with the approved UPD Policies and Procedures
  • Current on AUPHA membership and UPD chapter dues
  • Induction of students for at least one academic year prior to receiving the award
  • Successful submission of current year’s inductees to AUPHA via the UPD online submission form

AUPHA would like to extend our most sincere thanks to the members of the Upsilon Phi Delta Honor Society Committee for their work on the scholarship program over the past year. We are pleased to have this opportunity to recognize students for their outstanding contributions and look forward to next year.

If you are interested in establishing a chapter at your program, please contact Stephanie Williams for additional information, or complete and return the Chapter Membership Application, along with your $100 dues payment to AUPHA.
