OPAF Scholarship Deadline April 15

The deadline--April 15--is looming for applications to the Orthotic & Prosthetic Assistance Fund (OPAF) O&P Scholarship Program, part of the OPAF Dale Yasukawa Memorial Fund.

This scholarship program is currently open to all full-time certificate candidates enrolled in Northwestern University's Prosthetic Orthotic Center (NUPOC), Chicago, Illinois, during the fall 2003 and spring 2004 terms. The chief purpose of the scholarship is to encourage student participation in the annual meeting of the Midwest Chapter of the American Academy of Orthotists & Prosthetists (AAOP). It is expected that the award will be used specifically to defray Midwest Chapter meeting registration fees and assist in the purchasing of books, supplies, and equipment needed for ongoing studies at NUPOC, OPAF noted.

OPAF will award one $500 scholarship each fiscal year. The 2004 application cycle has begun. The successful candidate will be announced at the 2004 annual meeting of the Midwest Chapter.

"As the Memorial Fund grows through future contributions, its associated scholarship program will expand to recognize the continued support of OPAF's founders: the American Academy of Orthotists & Prosthetists (AAOP), American Board for Certification in Orthotics & Prosthetics (ABC), and American Orthotic & Prosthetic Association (AOPA)," OPAF stated. "The future scholarship program will be open to all full-time students enrolled in O&P programs accredited by the National Commission on Orthotic & Prosthetic Education (NCOPE) and the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP)." OPAF said that scholarship recipients will be expected to use their awards to defray fees incurred toward:

AAOP Annual Meeting registration; AOPA National Assembly registration; Registration for annual meetings of state and regional AAOP chapters and AOPA associations and societies; and Registration for the ABC certification examinations. Complete information about the program and all application details are available on the OPAF website at: http://www.opfund.org/programs/scholarship.htm
