Scholarships will be awarded to students in amounts from $24,000 to $26,000 toward their costs for attending the graduate program.<br \/>\nTitled \u201cFour Rs for USCPA Scholarship for Disadvantaged Students,\u201d the goals of the grant focus on four aspects to help disadvantaged health care professional students and underserved communities. First is \u201crecruit,\u201d which seeks to increase the number of disadvantaged students entering the program and profession. Second is \u201cretain,\u201d which is intended to help students stay in the program by supporting their educational efforts during their time in school. Third is \u201creduce,\u201d aimed to lower student debt overall and last is \u201creturn\u201d focused on encouraging these scholarship recipients to practice medicine in medically underserved communities.<br \/>\nThe receipt of this scholarship fund from HRSA follows in the trail of the PA Program\u2019s success in their outreach, interprofessional and diversity programs such as the USC PA Pipeline, which once a month brings in students from local underserved communities to teach them about careers in health care. The program also received an award for diversity from the Physician Assistant Education Association last year and continues to teach numerous National Health Service Corps scholars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n\n
