“I wanted to take the time to thank ABC for awarding me this incredible scholarship. The financial support granted to me through the ABC O&P Scholarship has helped lift the financial burden and allowed me to focus my energy towards excelling in the final months of my studies.”

We are thrilled to continue our support for the future of the profession through student and resident scholarships and awards. Currently, ABC funds seven scholarships and awards. In 2024, ABC will award over $150,000 in scholarships and awards in partnership with the Orthotics and Prosthetics Foundation for Education and Research (The O&P Foundation). We hope our contributions make a meaningful impact on the lives and livelihoods of the next generation of OP&P professionals.
