The Lands Banks Memorial Scholarship in Occupational Therapy will provide financial aid to support a student in pursuit of their degree. Eligible candidates must be pursuing an entry-level degree, i.e., OTA, MOT, MSOT or OTD at an AOTA accredited US institution, must be enrolled as a full-time student, and must have completed at least one year of coursework. In addition, candidates for this scholarship must demonstrate their role in community service and/or a service leadership role. Preference for this scholarship will be given to students from historically under-represented minorities in the field of occupational therapy. Applicants will need three total references: an academic reference, a character reference, and a reference from their OT Program Director. The academic reference should be from a current faculty member or faculty advisor who can speak about the applicant's academic ability. The character reference should be someone who can speak to the applicant's character.
