Eligible uses include full- or part-time PHC-related education, presenting PHC research at a conference, or a non-credit PHC-focused program.

One award is given per year, valued at $500 or $1,000 based on confirmed expenses. Application deadlines are April 15 (spring) and October 15 (fall). Use the Violet Ruelokke Primary Health Care Award application form (or the academic form if enrolled in a BN, MN, or PhD program in the spring competition).
