Congratulations to the winners of the APHA's 2010 Get Ready Scholarship! Six students — at the high school, undergraduate and graduate college levels — were chosen from 900 applicants as the winners of the scholarship.

The winners were selected on the basis of their essays on preparedness. Each of the students will receive $500 from the Get Ready campaign to further their education and pay for school costs as well as a free one-year APHA membership.
