Scholarships
FHCA awards scholarships once a year to assist long term care employees working in member nursing centers and assisted living facilities with career advancement. Individuals are eligible for one scholarship award per calendar year. FHCA scholarship award recipients may reapply for another scholarship in a new calendar year award cycle; however, priority consideration will be given to new applicants based on funds available.
