APSA Scholarship
Did you know?
The Association of Plastic Surgery Assistants, in keeping with its educational mission, offers scholarship opportunities for members who wish to attend the annual meeting. One or two scholarships are offered each year to members who, without this assistance, would be unable to attend. Scholarship funds support the full meeting fees for the member(s) selected including: educational program, all supplied breakfasts, luncheons, Welcome Reception with Vendor Event, access to the ASPS exhibit center, and all other events included in the regular registration fee. Our scholarship is named in honor of Patricia Hofmeier who has devoted over 20 years of service to the APSA Board and General Membership.
