The American Occupational Therapy Foundation (AOTF) has announced two scholarship recipients supported by a contribution from OccupationalTherapy.com.
OccupationalTherapy.com donated $10,000 to the AOTF Scholarship Program, which benefits qualified students currently enrolled full time in accredited occupational therapy educational programs.
This year’s recipients of $5000 scholarships each are:
Gabriella Johnson, University of Texas Medical Branch
"I am thrilled to be the recipient of the OccupationalTherapy.com scholarship! I am thankful for this scholarship as it alleviates the financial burden associated with higher education and is a testament to my hard work, service, and potential to impact others positively. This scholarship supports my continuous pursuit of knowledge that will benefit families and clients for the duration of my career and will help me evolve as a practitioner."
Stephanie Magaña, University of Southern California
"As a first-generation Latina college student pursuing my OT doctorate at USC, I am deeply honored to receive AOTF's OccupationalTherapy.com scholarship. This invaluable support is not only an investment in my education and future as an OT but also a powerful affirmation of my commitment to advancing occupational justice, equity, and inclusion within our diverse society. I am profoundly grateful to OccupationalTherapy.com and AOTF for recognizing and supporting my mission to empower underserved communities through meaningful occupational engagement and to broaden access to high-quality OT care for those who need it most."
