FARE Will Award Two Scholarships This Year
Children who have lost a parent in an air medical accident may
now be eligible for financial assistance through a scholarship fund
developed by the Foundation for Air-Medical Research &
Education (FARE), the charitable arm of the Association of Air
Medical Services (AAMS).
Beginning this year, the FARE Children's Scholarship Fund will
award two scholarships, of $2,500 each, to deserving high school
seniors entering a college, university or vocational-technical
school.
"FARE expresses many thanks to those who have offered to donate
to the Children’s Scholarship Fund," said FARE Chair Kevin
Hutton, MD, FACEP, CHC. "A special note of gratitude and
recognition also goes to those who have contributed a lead gift to
launch this important initiative, including EMS Sky Connect, PHI
Air Medical Group and Paul Pitts (in memory of his wife Patty
Pitts)."
FARE Children's Scholarship Fund applicants will be evaluated
according to academic achievement, financial need and community
service. To be eligible, applicants must be a graduating high
school senior accepted into an accredited two-or four-year college,
university or vocational-technical school. Applicants must
also have at least a C grade point average (GPA) and be a legal US
resident.
Details on how to apply for the FARE Children's Scholarship
Fund, or to download an application, are available at the FMI link
below. Applications are due May 1; scholarship recipients will be
announced in August.
