- Attendance at regional, national, or international Orthoptic meetings, including AAPOS, WSPOS, IOA or ISA meetings
- Tuition for online educational opportunities
- Other acceptable educational opportunities
A minimum of ten scholarships ranging between $500 to $5000 (USD) will be awarded to eligible students in 2020, who meet all scholarship requirements.
