Jun 01, 2023 | Megan Matijevich

In partnership with The Orthotics and Prosthetics Foundation for Education and Research (The O&P Foundation), we take great pride in congratulating the recipients of the inaugural 2023  ABC O&P Technician Scholarships and Scholarships for O&P Technician Diversity.

The ABC O&P Technician Scholarships were established to foster the academic advancement of up to eight O&P technician students annually. Additionally, the ABC Scholarships for O&P Technician Diversity were introduced to support the academic excellence of up to two students from racially or ethnically underrepresented backgrounds in the O&P profession each year. Each recipient receives a $5,000 scholarship.

We are thrilled to recognize and support the outstanding achievements of these deserving scholarship recipients. We look forward to witnessing their continued success as they contribute to the advancement of this vital profession.
