The Nancy Fortin Scholarship Fund was first established in the 1970's and named in honor of the founder of the Washington State Society of Medical Assistants. Over the years, it evolved from a loan fund for selected students to a scholarship award for deserving students enrolled in AAMA CAAHEP accreditied medical assisting programs in Washington State.
The fund is supported by contributions from members and a portion of the proceeds of the Washington State Society Annual Meeting. Presently the award is for $500 per scholarship.
Scholarship awards are announced in the spring and/or fall after the evaluation of all applications received and contingent upon available funds.
Deadline postmark dates for applications are October 31st and February 20th of each year.
