About The Scholarship
The establishment of the Nevada Health Care Forum Endowed Scholarship is made possible through the generosity of members of the Nevada Health Care Forum. In recognition of their professional and personal commitment to promoting public protection through personal advocacy, philanthropy, and community service, the members and leadership of the Forum have sought to make higher education in healthcare administration more attainable to students of remarkable promise. It is the hope of the members of the Forum that recipients of the scholarship will continue to demonstrate these principles in all of their future affairs.
