Rizing Tide will annually award the Crest scholarship to DPT students from historically underrepresented racial or ethnic backgrounds. Applicants may be a student entering your first or second year of a DPT program (with their second year beginning no sooner than May 1), or be a student entering a PTA-to-DPT Bridge Program. They must have been accepted into a CAPTE-accredited PT program within the U.S. Applicants may be a U.S. Citizen or have DACA status. Crest scholarship recipients may renew their award twice. Applicants must submit three essays and two letters of recommendation. Letters must be written by a previous (or current) teacher, professor, coach, mentor, or industry professional. No letters from family members will be accepted. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Rizing Tide Foundation for more information.
