The Association for Professionals in Aging Scholarship Program is excited to offer our annual scholarship program! The APA provides scholarships for undergraduate and graduate students in fields of study leading to a career in aging. Students may self-nominate and are eligible to win one of three $1,000 scholarships, to be awarded on December 9th, 2021, at the APA annual Holiday Awards Luncheon, which will be held at Traditions at Camargo in Madeira. Below you'll discover how we choose these outstanding students.
