Since 1996, the RRPAA has been awarding scholarships to PA students in the Greater Rochester Region. Starting in 2008, the RRPAA is excited to announce the association will be increasing the awards to three (3) $1,000 scholarships!
The current criteria for scholarship eligibility is as follows: The applicant must be a Physician Assistant student in good standing at Daemen, D'youville, LeMoyne or RIT and expected to enter either of the final two years of their program. Student membership in the RRPAA is also required.
A request for applicants is issued to the Program Directors of the eligible PA Programs in the summer, and the scholarships are awarded by check at the RRPAA Annual General Membership Meeting (usually in October or November).
The winner is chosen by the BOD based on a combination of Scholastic Achievement (GPA), review of personal statement and references, and need. The applicant with the highest GPA is not necessarily the winner each year.
Congratulations to the 2008 Scholarship Winners!!
