Foster G. McGaw
Graduate Student Scholarship

The Foundation of the American College of Healthcare Executives established this scholarship in honor of Foster G. McGaw, the founder of the American Hospital Supply Corporation. This financial aid program is offered to help ACHE Student Associates finance their education.

Scholarship Details

Offered annually, the Foster G. McGaw Graduate Student Scholarship is designated for students enrolled in their final year of a healthcare management graduate program. Each scholarship is worth $5,000. Between the McGaw and Dent scholarships, ACHE awards up to 20 scholarships each year. In providing this scholarship, ACHE’s goal is to provide financial aid to students in healthcare management graduate programs to help offset tuition costs, student loans and expenses.
