Each year the RRPAA Board of Directors (BOD) offers two scholarships to PA students currently attending the Physician Assistant Program at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). Scholarships for $1000 each are awarded to one third year PA student and one fourth year PA student.

To qualify, the applicant must be a Physician Assistant student in good standing at RIT and expected to enter their third year or fourth year of training in the upcoming Fall.

A request for applicants is issued to the Program Director of the RIT PA Program in the summer, and the scholarships are awarded by check at the RRPAA Annual General Membership Meeting (usually in September).

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 2007 Scholarship Winners!!
