Paul Hart AIDS Memorial Fund Scholarship
The Paul Hart Fund Scholarship is now available to members of ACPA to support attendance of professionals at the 2020 ACPA Convention in Nashville, Tennessee, USA.
The Paul Hart AIDS Memorial Fund Scholarship was established in 1995 to provide scholarships for ACPA members who are either living with HIV/AIDS, or have a family member, dependent, partner, spouse, or child living with HIV/AIDS so that they may attend the Annual Convention. Scholarship funds are made available from Paul Hart's estate, and donations are received year-round. Scholarships are awarded to those individuals who would not be able to attend the Annual Convention without such financial assistance.
Recipients are selected following a review by a committee comprised of representatives from a variety of the ACPA Coalitions and the International Office. In order to be considered for the Paul Hart Scholarship, you must:
- Be a member of ACPA at the time of application.
- Be a person living with HIV/AIDS OR have an immediate family member who is living with HIV/AIDS (partner, spouse, children or other dependents who live with you).
- Indicate how receipt of the scholarship will enable you to attend Convention.
- Put the funds towards attendance at the 2019 ACPA Annual Convention.
All applications are due by Friday, December 20, 2019. For further information you may contact, Maria Victoria Perez, Vice Chair for Networking.
