2022 Scholarship Applications due date extended to February 15th, 2022.

The International Association for Human Caring, through the generosity of donors, is happy to offer Nine Awards/Scholarships to support attendance at the Annual IAHC Conference and also to Advance Caring and Caring Science through specific theoretical perspectives.  To qualify for an Award/Scholarship,  applicants must be an active IAHC member.

This year the Conference will be virtual and the recipients of Scholarships will have their conference registration paid by the donors or to support research.
