MSJ Physical Therapy Alumni Scholarship
The Physical Therapy Program has always focused on developing the whole student — mind, body, and spirit. Our graduates practice ethically and soundly within their respective fields of practice. As part of the significance of our alumni milestones, the Physical Therapy Alumni Board was developed in late 2018 to better engage with our many alumni cohorts. Some of our PT Alumni Board endeavors include:
1.) Engagement—providing alumni with program and class updates.
2.) Celebratory—organizing gatherings with fellow program alumni.
3.) Scholarship—providing a legacy by giving back to support a future alumnus.
The Physical Therapy Alumni Scholarship is an endowed scholarship that was established in 2020 to recognize a student who is emerging as a future clinician. The criteria to be considered for this scholarship included a minimum GPA of 3.25, good academic and program status, a video submission answering 3 questions posed by the PT alumni board, and a character reference indicating how the candidate both now and in the future (as an alum) will demonstrate the APTA Core Values.
