We are please to announce the new CAHME / Judy Baar Topinka Foundation Scholarship and are now accepting applications. Judy Baar Topinka was a pioneering public leader in Illinois who was the first woman to serve as state treasurer, in addition to terms as a state representative and senator. The scholarship will recognize a graduate student focusing on health policy in a CAHME-accredited program who exemplifies Ms. Topinka’s belief in hard work, ethical leadership, and perseverance. Details about the scholarship and application instructions are available on our web site. The deadline to apply is March 15, 2019.
Judy was a great supporter of Loyola University and was on its Board of Regents. Her son also received his advanced law degree from Loyola University School of Law. The Foundation and the Topinka family thank Loyola Magazine for helping get the word out about Just Judy.
