The Hearing Loss Association of Florida has announced its third Joan Andrews Scholarship Award. The Scholarship will be awarded to a Florida resident who has not previously attended a national convention and who demonstrates in writing (by completion of the application process), a sincere educational interest in and commitment to sharing the mission of the Hearing Loss Association with others affected by hearing loss. The Scholarship Committee will give priority consideration to an applicant who meets all the criteria as set forth in the application process and who would find it a hardship to attend the HLAA convention without the assistance of this scholarship.
SCHOLARSHIP DESCRIPTION: The scholarship will entitle the winner to a registration to the Hearing Loss Association of America convention in Providence, RI from June 21-24, 2012. The scholarship will also include a room at the convention hotel for three nights and round trip airfare or automobile travel expense between Florida and Providence, RI. The maximum value of the scholarship is $1,000.00. The winner is responsible for making all travel, hotel and convention registration arrangements.
ELIGIBILITY: An applicant must be a Florida resident and member in good standing of the Hearing Loss Association of America. Current members of the HLA-FL Board of Trustees are not eligible.
The deadline for receipt by HLA-FL of the completed application is March 15, 2012.
