Scholarships
The Ohio Association for Healthcare Philanthropy (OAHP) is firmly committed to providing meaningful opportunities to expand your knowledge, enhance your skills, and help establish professional relationships that will support you throughout your development career.
We are living and working in challenging times where words like downsizing, right sizing, and reengineering are having a major impact on all our budgets. Funds for professional development are usually the first to be sacrificed. We believe that education and networking are crucial for anyone responsible for fundraising in the healthcare industry. Our scholarships make that possible.
