NCRA Danielle Chufar Scholarship 2011

The Danielle Chufar Memorial Annual Conference Scholarship is named in memory of the NCRA staff member who passed away in February 2004 from cancer. Danielle was a new RHIT professional who was preparing to take her CTR exam. Funded by individual donations, speakers’ returned honoraria, and the annual state basket raffle, it is through the generosity of many people that this money is available to NCRA members. Each year since 2004 NCRA has committed to funding the expenses associated with travel; lodging and registration for the members awarded the Danielle Chufar Memorial Scholarship.

Purpose
