What is the Disability Section? HEALTH SHARE OF OREGON SCHOLARSHIP (full)New this year, OPHA invited Sponsors to fund OPHA Conference Scholarships. This year, our generous sponsor, Health Share of Oregon is offering 10 scholarships that will cover the registration cost of attending the 79th OPHA Annual Conference & Meeting. OPHA recognizes that there are additional costs to attending a two-day conference, but we hope this opportunity will allow 10 individuals to attend the conference who otherwise would not have the opportunity to participate. The scholarships are open to conference presenters, students and any public health or public health related professional who's employer cannot pay their registration fee or otherwise do not have the funds to attend normally.
These scholarships are open until filled, as a first come first serve basis. We hope to build a more robust scholarship program in future years with more funding by sponsors.
If you are an organization interested in sponsoring at the SCHOLARSHIP LEVEL, please visit our sponsor page HERE.
Please share this opportunity widely with your networks!
