To promote criteria-based opportunities for TAHQ members to obtain
professional development in healthcare quality by periodically
awarding educational grants as funds are available.

any necessary
surplus to ensure that the financial institution’s minimum
balance requirements are satisfied.

- Applicants must be a current member of TAHQ.

course, self-study, or other offerings
provided that the
necessary documentation of
enrollment or registration can be shown;
- Regardless of the type of educational
experience, there must be a minimum of

educational
grants may be offered
for enrollment in preparatory courses
for such examinations. Grant will not
be used

The Educational Grant Review Committee (“EGRC”) will
consider only completed applications. Omission of non-substantive
items, e.g., telephone number, will not disqualify an
Applicant, but if such information when requested by the
EGRC is not provided, the EGRC may reject the application.

the EGRC will consider the following when reviewing applications:
- The clarity of the applicant’s stated learning
goal(s).

involvement in healthcare quality;
- Duration, intensity and other factors that the
EGRC believes contribute to the merits of the educational
experience;
- Optional statement of financial need;

the extent to which the applicant is likely
to benefit
professionally from
the educational
experience; and

in writing once the grant is approved. however, the
award
will not be issued
until submission
of an invoice
or other evidence of enrollment in
the selected educational experience.
