If a chapter does not use all 4 of their scholarships by the application deadline, then any of their remaining scholarships will be put into an overall “pool”. Scholarships which become part of the overall “pool” can then be assigned to any chapter within the Region. Scholarship recipients will be selected in the order of the applications received.

Scholarship FAQ Q: Who is eligible to apply for the scholarship? A: A Provider attendee (hospital, health system, nursing home, clinic or other direct healthcare provider of services) that would like to attend and participate in the Region 8 conference. **A provider attendee is someone who is directly employed by the provider and is not a business consultant that is hired by the provider.

It does not include travel expenses (airfare, mileage, or meals) outside of those provided at the conference. Q: Can multiple people from the same facility apply for the scholarship? A: Yes, each application will be included in the scholarship pool. Q: If I win a scholarship but am unable to attend, can I give it to someone else? A: The scholarship will only be transferrable to a different provider attendee within the initial recipient’s organization, if no other prior applicants are in line to receive it. Q: Do I need to be a current member of HFMA? A: Yes, one of the requirements of the scholarship is that the applicant must be a member in good standing of an HFMA chapter. You must also provide your Member ID.
