Florence P Kendall Doctoral Scholarships
Kendall Doctoral Scholarships, part of the Foundation's Doctoral
Opportunities for Clinicians and Scholars (DOCS) program, assist
physical therapists and physical therapist assistants with outstanding
potential for doctoral studies in their first year of graduate studies
towards a doctorate. Applicants must be formally accepted as a student
in a regionally accredited post-professional doctoral program whose
content has a demonstrated relationship to physical therapy.
Awards of $5,000 are given to Kendall Doctoral Scholarship recipients
to meet any type of tuition expense or academic fees reasonably and
logically associated with the doctoral program. The application
deadline is August 19 at 10 am, ET. Award notification is in
mid-December.
Priority will be given to applicants who:
- show promise of completion of full-time or part-time degree
requirements in a timely fashion
- demonstrate potential for a career as an academic researcher and
educator in an accredited physical therapy education program
- are working on research directly related to APTA's Clinical Research Agenda (.doc)
