Combined Sections Meeting Scholarship!

Fellow PT students!!

Have you wanted to attend the Combined Sections Meeting (CSM) but can't because you're living on a super tight budget? If you are interested in attending CSM this year but are held up by the cost...there is a new scholarship available this year!! The winner will be awarded with conference registration and $500 towards expenses to attend CSM.

CSM is a spectacular event that brings together more than 7,500 physical therapy professionals and students from around the nation for 5 stimulating days of amazing workshops, lots of networking opportunities, and an exhibit hall filled with enough swag to bring home to your friends!
