Since 1955, National AMBUCS, Inc. has awarded scholarships to students pursuing degrees in physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech language pathology, and hearing audiology. To date, more than $10 million in scholarships have been awarded to over 16,757 students.
Who is eligible:
Over $200,000 is awarded annually with individual awards ranging from $500 to $1,500. There is one two-year award in the amount of $6,000. Award monies are deposited into the student’s credit account with the financial aid office of the educational institution.
National AMBUCS, Inc. accepts applications for its scholarship program from February 1 until April 1 at 11:59 pm ET, annually. Please see the link below to access National AMBUCS, Inc. scholarship application.
Students must submit all portions of the application before the April 1 deadline. The online application will allow students to save their work and return at a later time.
In addition to the filling out general information, the student will be required to upload:
FAFSA: Please be aware that the taxes of whoever is financially supporting the student must be filed before the FAFSA can be filled out. It also can take several weeks for the SAR to be delivered, so please plan ahead so you can meet the April 1 deadline.
In order to apply for this scholarship you must fill out the FAFSA and supply us with your SAR; even if you do not want to apply for Federal aid. You can accept or decline any aid offer made by the government.
Eligibility requirements and financial need receive primary attention (including those that are chapter sponsored). On the application you will find an area to provide details about new financial information not reflected on your SAR (additional loans, etc.).
