2025 NJ HFMA Thomas G. Shanahan Scholarship
Dear Fellow HFMA Members:
I am pleased to invite members, member’s spouses, or member’s dependents to apply for this year’s 2025 NJ HFMA Thomas G. Shanahan Scholarship. The New Jersey Chapter of HFMA will be offering at least one scholarship at a minimum of one thousand dollars. You, your spouse or dependent may be eligible for the scholarship if you meet the following criteria:
- Member, in good standing, of the New Jersey Chapter for the last two years.
- Spouse or dependent of a member, in good standing, of the New Jersey Chapter, for the last two years.
- Enrolled in an accredited college, university, nursing school or other allied health professional school.
Preference will be given to applicants pursuing degrees in finance, accounting, healthcare administration or a healthcare related field of study. Tuition not paid by an employer or other scholarship will qualify for the HFMA scholarship.
We make our selection based on merit, academic achievement, civic and professional activities, course of study and content of your application and essay. We do not use income in our selection process. To apply, please submit a completed Scholarship Application no later than March 15, 2025. Members of the Chapter’s Board of Directors, Officers and Advisory Council and their spouses or dependents are not eligible for scholarships. Prior awardees are not eligible for a subsequent scholarship, although other dependents in the member’s family are still eligible.
We will announce the recipient(s) of the 2025 NJ HFMA Thomas G. Shanahan Scholarship at our annual golf outing on May 8, 2025. If you have any questions or wish to receive additional applications, please contact Laura Hess at njhfma@aol.com.
