Thank you for taking the time to submit for consideration for an AHF 2024 Operator Scholarship. Our scholarship program is designed to help send operator members to our National Conference.
AHF hosts the only national conference solely dedicated to furthering the field of self-operated facilities and are the best place to network with colleagues, build and strengthen relationships with our valued business partners and learn new ways to innovate. We hope that regardless of whether AHF is able to award you with a scholarship this year that you will plan to attend the National Conference and also participate in our onsite fundraising activities. The more funds we raise, the more operators like yourself that we can support in future years
