Leadership Institute Scholarships Announced
February 27, 2014
Shortly after the first of the year, the AARC debuted a new Leadership Institute aimed at equipping therapists with the knowledge they need to excel in the areas of education, management, and research. And not long after we launched a scholarship program to help members take advantage of it!
Applicants submitted 250 word papers describing what the scholarship would mean to them, and we received more than 86 applications during the month-long submission period. Now the scholarship recipients, sponsored by Drager, are in:
Education Track
