Application for FOREA Student Educational Scholarship
FOREA Student Educational Scholarship Awards provide financial support to orthoptic trainees engaged in orthoptic/vision science learning. The goal is to provide financial support for the development of highly capable orthoptic students so that they may participate in educational opportunities.
Applicants for education funding must be enrolled in a Training Program or be in possession of written notification of their acceptance into an accredited program. A copy of acceptance into an accredited program must accompany this application.
Student educational scholarships will be awarded based upon the merits of the application and availability of funds. Applications will be read and evaluated by the Education Committee. Funds will be released in as timely a fashion as is possible for the student’s needs.
The Education Committee is comprised of Orthoptists and Pediatric Ophthalmologists. The Committee will deliberate over applications and although I will serve as Chair of the Committee, I will not be a voting member of the group. I currently direct a Training Program and as such, it would constitute a conflict of interest to vote to dispense funds.
Instructions: Please provide as much detail within individual sections or at the end of the document to provide the Committee with all pertinent information so that we can deliberate and make a decision regarding your application.
