Ideal Applicant
An underrepresented Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) student seeking scholarship, travel/study, or career-development support, or a program that directly manages scholarships/mentorships for such students.
Good Fit
- • Applicant is a DPT student (or a program serving DPT students) and requests scholarship, travel, or career-development support.
- • Applicant self-identifies as underrepresented and can document enrollment or program participation.
- • Request aligns with scholarship/mentorship framing rather than large institutional operating support.
- • Willingness to apply via the foundation's online application and follow rolling submission guidance.
Geography
The latest year shows recipients across 22 states and awards are distributed nationally rather than concentrated in the foundation's home state.
Recipient Variety
In the most recent year the foundation made 91 grants to 69 distinct recipients, with a mix of returning and newly observed recipients, indicating a broad recipient set (mostly individual scholarship awards).
New Applicants
Direct evidence supports newcomer access: roughly half of 2024 recipients were new to the portfolio and the foundation publishes application steps and an online apply page; filings also reference some preselection language, which suggests a mixed process but does not outweigh the observed new-recipient flow.
