​Awards and Scholarships Program

RIVHSA recognizes the outstanding contributions and achievements of individuals, programs, and organizations in Region IV with the presentation of awards and scholarships.  State affiliates select candidates to represent their state at the regional and national level.  In addition to the national awards and scholarships offered by NHSA, there are several region-specific categories sponsored by RIVHSA.  These categories are exclusively for our regional grantees.   Therefore, state nominees only compete at the regional level for these categories.  Each year, regional winners are honored at an awards ceremony held in conjunction with RIVHSA’s annual conference.

Use the Head Start Program Locator to find programs and contact information in any geographic area.  To apply for a job or check the status of an application, you must contact that program directly.
