Scholarships

The Association for Professionals in Aging (APA) is excited to offer our annual scholarship program! We are offering $10,000 in scholarships, with a minimum individual scholarship amount of $1,000.

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 4th. Below you'll discover how we choose these outstanding students.

CRITERIA
The APA Scholarship is awarded based on student interest and pursuit towards a career in aging. Character, personal merit, and academic achievement also are considered as demonstrated through leadership in school, civic, and extracurricular activities, and motivation to serve and succeed.
