2016 Aide to Allied Health Care Professional Scholarship
The Oregon Association for Home Care establishes the “Aide to Health Care Professional” scholarship program to encourage Home Health and Certified Aides to go on to higher levels of professional practice within the home care industry. Through this scholarship program, OAHC aims to address the shortage of health care professionals in our state. The “Aide to Health Care Professional” program provides two scholarships each year to Home Health Aides and/or Certified Nurses Assistants actively employed in that capacity within the state of Oregon. In addition to scholarship funds awarded by OAHC, applicants may qualify for additional matching funds (up to $500) through an Aide-to-RN Scholarship program partnership between OAHC and the National Association for Home Care. Additional eligibility requirements will apply.
NAHC Scholarship Eligibility Requirements:
1. NAHC will contribute $500 to the scholarship fund upon notification that OAHC has selected a candidate and has already committed $500 of its own funds;
2. The agency submitted the application on behalf on an aide must be a NAHC member;
3. The applicant must attend or be accepted to an accredited School of Nursing (we realize that some students may require some remedial work in the nursing school or college prior to formal matriculation into the nursing program and that is alright with NAHC);
4. The applicant should indicate a desire to work in home care after obtaining the degree;
5. Send NAHC a copy of the submitted and approved OAHC application.
