ATRI / Jalkanen Foundation Scholarships Available

The Aquatic Therapy & Rehab Institute (ATRI) and the Jalkanen Foundation announce educational scholarships for education in aquatic therapy or rehab.  The scholarships range in size from $100 to $400.

Scholarships are given to aquatic therapy practitioners who, for some reason, would not be able to attain needed continuing education or stay in the field of aquatic therapy and rehabilitation.  This may be due to special needs, being single parents, having experienced physical or emotional trauma, or other similar special situations.

The scholarships will help practitioners get education so they can continue to serve others.  Scholarships given by the Jalkanen Foundation (a non-profit charitable organization) for ATRI events will be matched by ATRI. Scholarship winners will also receive a free swimsuit from H2O Wear.

To apply, click on Scholarship Application (below) and follow the directions.  The deadline is September 1, 2010.
