2017 Annual Spring Conference Provider Scholarship Program |
The 2017 HFMA Florida Chapter Annual Spring Conference will be held at the Vinoy Resort & Golf Club in St. Petersburg from May 21 to May 24, 2017. The purpose of the provider scholarship program is to help defray the cost of attending this conference for members who work for healthcare providers (e.g., registration, lodging & transportation). The amount and quantity of scholarships awarded will depend on the funding and any specific underwriting received by sponsors. It is the intent of the Florida Chapter HFMA to award scholarships to as many attendees as possible. Applicants must work for healthcare providers and be active members of HFMA.
Scholarships will be awarded based upon several criteria, including:
- diversity in provider base of applicants
- number of applicants
- available funding and sponsorships
- HFMA volunteer involvement
- description of need
The scholarship winners will be determined based on blind (name, contact and company information of applicant hidden from the judging panel) voting by the members of the Florida HFMA Chapter Scholarship committee. All awards are final and based solely on the discretion of this committee. Travel costs to be reimbursed will be based on receipt of documentation supporting actual costs and based on the mode of travel that is both practical and economical, to be determined at the discretion of the committee. Cost of meals is not included as the conference provides most of the meals.
The deadline for submitting your application for consideration is Monday, April 10, 2017. Any scholarships awarded but not utilized may be given to other applicants at the sole discretion of the HFMA Florida Chapter President before the conference. If you are awarded a scholarship, please promptly confirm your commitment to utilize the scholarship so that unused scholarships can be redistributed to other attendees. Scholarship is only available to recipient and is not transferrable. Applications will be processed as received, with all notifications of acceptance or denial communicated no later than Friday, April 14, 2017. For Questions - Contact: Mindy Arroyo, Scholarship Program Chair (727) 519-1756, mindy.arroyo@baycare.org.
Thank you again for your interest. We hope to see you at the conference!
