APTA Scholarships

APTA is pleased to offer several scholarship opportunities to members* to encourage and reward continuing education.

The application deadline for all scholarships was extended to August 15, 2020.   Scholarships are usually presented at the conference banquet, but given the unprecedented cancellation of the 2020 conference, another method will be chosen this year to celebrate the accomplishments of our members.
