District 8 Student Scholarship Application

DUE DATE:  April 3rd, 2021

The 2021 FWATA Student Scholarship Applications will open for submissions on March 1st and will close April 3rd. The FWATA Scholarships Committee developed a new application process for District 8 athletic training students different from NATA and previous years. Amid 2021, students now have the ability to submit an application fully online via Google Forms. We would like to make this our standard application method going forward, but will be accepting either method this year as a transition period.

*Please note that submitting an application for an undergraduate or graduate scholarship through the National Athletic Trainers’ Association (NATA Research & Education Foundation) NO LONGER automatically places the applicant eligible for a FWATA scholarship. The student applicant must now submit separate applications for a FWATA ($1,500 award) and NATA ($2,300 award) scholarship.

The Far West Athletic Trainers’ Association currently sponsors ten scholarships to support student membership available to athletic training students within District 8. Recipients of each scholarship receive a $1500.00 monetary award and a plaque. An additional certificate is also presented to the nominating certified athletic trainer of each scholarship recipient. All of the awards are given in order to continue promoting the education and profession of athletic training, as well as recognize some of the outstanding students who represent the future of the Athletic Training profession. Four of the current scholarships are given in memory of individuals who contributed greatly to the growth and success of the profession of Athletic Training.
