In 2019, UNAC/UHCP received hundreds of scholarship applications. Each application and essay were given careful consideration. The scholarship program was made possible by member volunteers who helped score applications. UNAC/UHCP members personally reviewed and scored each application three times according to set criteria before winners were determined.
Congratulations to our winners, listed below. Stay tuned for information about the 2020 scholarship program in March 2020.
