Mary McMillan Scholarship Award

Description

The Mary McMillan Scholarship Award acknowledges and honors outstanding physical therapist and physical therapist assistant students who are nearing the completion of their respective programs of study. The scholarship program contributes to the growth of physical therapy as a profession by recognizing individuals with superior capabilities. Nominees for this award must be physical therapist students or physical therapist assistant students who are current members in good standing of the association and by the start of the annual Honors and Awards nomination process are enrolled in the final year of study in a CAPTE-accredited PT or mPTA program (or for PTA programs with a part-time curriculum, the final year of the curriculum), based on each institution's determination of the minimum number of credit hours required for final year status, and are within 12 months of completing all requirements for graduation from the program in which they are enrolled. Students must be nominated by a PT or PTA program accredited by CAPTE. Students are not eligible to nominate themselves. Students must also be the only nominee from the PT or PTA program in which they are enrolled. Only one physical therapist student and one physical therapist assistant student may be nominated from each academic institution. Applicants must submit two letters in support of the nomination, one from a representative of the student body and one from a representative of the faculty, that specifically focus on a nominee's worthiness for this award.
