Physical Therapy Diversity and Leadership Scholarship


This endowment was established through the perseverance and commitment of a student in the Doctor of Physical Therapy Program at Youngstown State University to encourage other students to pursue a career in this field. Through peer leadership, we all can enhance the Physical Therapy profession to better reflect the diversity of the patients we will serve. It is intended to award a student who demonstrates a commitment to community engagement and leadership. Potential recipients must be enrolled full-time in their first or second year in the Doctor of Physical Therapy program in good academic standing. Students must state within their application how they promote diversity, how they demonstrate excellence and leadership within a YSU student organization and/or the professional Physical Therapy organizations (APTA/OPTA) and provide their professional development goals as they relate to the American Physical Therapy Association’s initiatives.
