Scholarships

The Association for Professionals in Aging (APA) is excited to offer our annual scholarship program! APA provides scholarships for undergraduate and graduate students who attend a college or university in the Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky area and who are studying in a field leading to a career in aging. Students may self-nominate and are eligible for one of the APA scholarships to be awarded on December 5, 2024, at the holiday APA Networking Event to be held at the Council on Aging of Southwestern Ohio, 4601 Malsbary Road, Blue Ash, Ohio, 45242, from 3 pm – 5 pm. Below you’ll discover how we choose these outstanding students.
