AHP Foundation Endowment Recipients  

At the end of each fiscal year, endowment earnings are calculated, and the available income distribution is determined in accordance with donor intent. Endowment amounts and availability vary from year to year. In 2024, the AHP Foundation awarded three endowments.  
 
Endowment recipients are chosen from the same pool of applicants reviewed and rated by the AHP Foundation Board for Foundation and HDEF of Canada scholarships.
