Summit Physical Therapy Scholarship

Name: Summit Physical Therapy Scholarship (formerly Arctic Physical Therapy Scholarship)

Award Amount: $500

Information And Eligibility:
The Summit Physical Therapy Scholarship is an annual education award sponsored by Summit Physical Therapy Center, a healthcare practice based in Fairbanks, Alaska. Formerly known as the Arctic Physical Therapy Scholarship, the program was established to support motivated students pursuing higher education while encouraging personal growth, academic achievement, and positive community impact. Although sponsored by a physical therapy organization, the scholarship is intentionally open to students in any field of study, reflecting the organization’s broader commitment to education and lifelong learning.

This scholarship is designed to recognize students who demonstrate strong academic performance and thoughtful reflection on their educational goals. Rather than restricting eligibility to healthcare or science majors, the program welcomes applicants from all academic disciplines who are enrolled full time or planning to enroll full time at a college or university. Selection is based primarily on academic standing and the quality of the applicant’s written responses, allowing students to share their perspectives, ambitions, and values through a structured essay component.

Applicants must maintain a minimum grade point average and meet enrollment and residency requirements. The scholarship is open to students residing in the United States or Canada and is intended for individuals who will be attending college or university no later than January following the application year. By offering a flexible eligibility framework, the Summit Physical Therapy Scholarship provides an opportunity for a wide range of students to receive financial support during their academic journey.

The award is granted once per year to a single recipient. Scholarship funds may be used to support education-related expenses such as tuition, books, or other academic costs. While the monetary award is modest, the scholarship serves as recognition of academic dedication and thoughtful engagement with personal and educational goals. Applicants are encouraged to submit well-considered essay responses that clearly communicate their motivation and future plans.

Eligibility Requirements:

• Must be enrolled or planning to enroll full time at a college or university no later than January following the application year.
