The Patrick Rush Service Award seeks to remove the financial barrier for students who demonstrate the drive and determination to reach their education goals despite the challenges that are presented by a positive HIV status and on-going addiction recovery. This is a merit-based scholarship of up to $5,000 awarded each year by Alliance for Housing and Healing, in conjunction with the Best in Drag Show.
