RHAU Student Scholarships

The Rural Health Association of Utah (RHAU) understands that to meet tomorrow's healthcare workforce demands across rural Utah, we must support our students from rural Utah who are pursuing healthcare careers. According to the AAMC, Medical students who grow up in small communities far from urban centers are much more likely to return to them to practice. RHAU believes that this is true for all healthcare professionals. 

 

To support rural kids and help build our future healthcare workforce, RHAU is pleased to offer annual scholarships to students from rural Utah who are actively pursuing healthcare careers. Scholarships are available in three categories: high school seniors, current undergraduate students, and students in a bachelor's or graduate-level healthcare program.

Eligibility Requirments:

  • MUST have graduated from a high school in one of Utah's 24 rurally designated counties

  • MUST be pursuing a career in healthcare 

  • Additional requirements to be announced in early 2025

Scholarship Timeline:

  • February 3, 2025 - Applications Open 

  • March 31, 2025 - Applications Due 

  • May 1, 2025 - Applicants Notified

Where do the RHAU Student Scholarship funds come from? 

 

Funds for the Annual RHAU Student Scholarships originate from the Annual RHAU Scholarship Golf Tournament held in conjunction with the Annual RHAU Conference each November in St. George, Utah. All proceeds from the tournament go directly to the RHAU Student Scholarship fund. RHAU also accepts donations that are designated specifically for student scholarships. 

​

There are many ways to get involved with the RHAU Annual Scholarship Program:

  1. Sponsor the Golf Tournament 

  2. Provide items for prizes/opportunities drawings at the Golf Tournament 

  3. Come out and play at the Golf Tournament 

  4. Donate directly to the RHAU Student Scholarship Fund

RHAU would like to thank our 2024 RHAU Scholarship Golf Tournament Sponsors and Participants.
