MAHPERD/COHES Health Educator Scholarship

The Coalition Organized for Health Education in Schools (COHES) was created to promote and support comprehensive health education at the local and state levels. This support included providing professional development opportunities on current health topics to professionals in the field, and advocating for health education to be an integral component of a child’s education in the Massachusetts.

Since COHES disbanded, they have entrusted MAHPERD with custodial care to their funds to provide scholarships for professionals and students. To continue that mission, the Massachusetts Association of Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance (MAHPERD) will accept applications for two $1,000 scholarships on behalf of COHES.
