The three main goals of HFMA: Provide quality education, determine, and pursue future membership, and promote participation.

HFMA Alabama Chapter has scholarships available for students interested in attending our Spring and Fall Institutes to learn and network with providers, vendors, and integrators within the healthcare finance space.

Students attending the Spring or Fall Institute will make important contacts within the industry for potential internships and careers! Students will also learn about the dynamic and changing healthcare industry as it relates to revenue cycle and finance as well as start learning about a career path where patients and providers can be impacted and influenced in a positive way.

Scholarships will be awarded based on several criteria, including:
