Conference Scholarships for PT Students

The conference scholarships cover conference registration and
provide $500 for travel, lodging and meal expenses. Applicants must
be a member of the APTA, a second or third year physical therapy
student at the time of the conference, and interested in pursuing a
career in orthopedic, neurological, geriatric or sports physical
therapy.
