The conviction to care. The McKinney Scholarship Fund

In response to the AIDS crisis and the critical need for competent and trained health care providers for the growing number of persons with AIDS, the McKinney Scholarship Fund has been recently established with the Stewart B. McKinney Foundation, and will be announced in December. As the first fund of its kind in the country, the McKinney Scholarship Fund will provide funding and financial assistance to qualified individuals who have demonstrated the ability and desire to go to school to work in the medical field with persons with AIDS, but who cannot afford to do so. At the present time, it is sponsored and endorsed by the Connecticut State Medical Society, the Hartford County Medical Association, the Connecticut Nurses' Association, the Hartford County Bar Association, and the Insurance Association of Connecticut.
