SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATIONS
NOW AVAILABLE FOR YEAR 2009!

MAPA is proud to be able to offer student scholarships to aid in the high cost of education. We recognize the difficulties in paying for your PA studies while trying to prepare for your career, and we would like to help as much as we can.  Over the past several years, MAPA has given away up to $4500/year in scholarships to PA students in their first year of a PA program.

The criteria for application for a MAPA scholarship are:
1) Must be a MAPA member
2) Current student in their first year in a PA Program

There are two types of scholarships available.  One is based on merit and the other is based on financial need.  You may apply for either or both scholarships. Applications are now available from MAPA.

A representative of the Scholarship Committee will be visiting or contacting Minnesota and Wisconsin PA Programs in late January.  Scholarship applications are also downloadable directly below. You may also contact Deborah Schilling at 507-385-3834. She can email or fax the applications to you. For the year 2009, the deadline will be March 1. Scholarships will be presented in the spring.

Please feel free to contact the Scholarship Committee with any
questions or comments.
