The 2025 NAHMA Educational Foundation scholarship season is open, and the online digital application is now available. MA-AHMA Member Companies: your residents residing in your affordable properties within the MA-AHMA footprint (MD, DC, VA, WV) are eligible to apply so please help us get the word out to them! The deadline for completed applications is 10 p.m. Eastern on May 12.

The NAHMA Educational Foundation strongly encourages management company personnel and partners to promote this outstanding program to affordable housing residents by downloading and sharing promotional flyers available on the Educational Foundation’s webpage. 

While continuing to welcome applications from residents seeking a college education, this year the Foundation is outreaching to those student residents working toward a certification or license that will allow them to qualify for a job in any one of a wide variety of trades (e.g., pharmacy tech, cosmetology, commercial driver’s license drivers, medical office specialist, heavy equipment operator, etc.). The foundation wants to ensure that residents seeking this type of training (as well as those seeking a college degree) understand they are eligible to apply for a scholarship as long as their trade/technical school is fully accredited. The foundation anticipates being able to award each recipient with a $3,500 scholarship. 

 

Anyone with questions about the application process or the scholarship program should contact Dr. Bruce W. Johnson, NAHMA scholarship program administrator, at 215-262-4230 or bjohnson@tmo.com. Please assist the foundation in promoting the scholarship program to residents by downloading and sharing the promotional flyers (in English and Spanish) on the Educational Foundation’s webpage.
 
 
 
 



George Spreitzer Resident Scholarship

The Mid-Atlantic AHMA established its scholarship "boost award" program in 2017 and in 2018 re-named it for long-time Board President and member, George Spreitzer, who championed the concept of a resident scholarship program for many years. The George Spreitzer Resident Scholarship provides for up to $7,500 to be awarded annually to a MA-AHMA recipient(s) of the NAHMA Educational Scholarship as a boost to the NAHMA scholarship award. Recognizing the ever-increasing cost of higher education, it is our hope that our "boost" awards will both encourage more of our residents to apply for a NAHMA Educational Foundation scholarship while also providing a more substantial award to a few lucky and worthy MA-AHMA member property residents. No additional application is required to be eligible for a George Spreitzer Scholarship.
