Student Academy Travel Grants
AAPA is proud to help support student engagement at Conference by awarding travel grants. These grants are awarded to student members from a PA program with a registered student society. Two students per AOR region will be awarded travel grants. These travel grants, awarded on an application basis, are meant to assist in defraying travel expenses.
