The Ohio Association for Healthcare Philanthropy (OAHP) is firmly committed to providing meaningful opportunities to expand your knowledge, enhance your skills, and help establish professional relationships that will support you throughout your development career.

We are living and working in challenging times where words like downsizing, right sizing, and reengineering are having a major impact on all our budgets. Funds for professional development are usually the first to be sacrificed. We believe that education and networking are crucial for anyone responsible for fundraising in the healthcare industry. Our scholarships make that possible.

The OAHP Board encourages all members to consider applying for a scholarship, one of the many advantages of membership. Awardees will be announced at the annual meeting of the spring conference.

Awardees of the $250 scholarships can use the funds from May 31, 2021, through April 30, 2022. The recipient of the Kelly Snyder Memorial Scholarship will be able to use it for the 2021 OAHP Spring Conference.

The following scholarships are available. You must be a member of OAHP to be eligible:

Kelly Snyder Memorial Scholarship (OAHP conference registration - $175 value)
Paul Ireland Scholarship (professional development tuition + travel expenses up to $250 total)
W. Bruce Evans Memorial Scholarship (professional development tuition + travel expenses up to $250 total)
Eleanor Jones Internship (OAHP conference registration for novice fundraiser - $175 value)

The scholarship committee is led by Melissa Gayer.

If you are interested, please complete the online application March 27.
