Anne-Marie Sirois Scholarship for Clinical Education

This scholarship was developed to honor Anne-Marie Sirois’ contributions to physical therapy clinical education by providing financial assistance to students during their clinical practice courses.  The New York/New Jersey Physical Therapy Clinical Education Consortium will award an annual $1,000.00 scholarship to a student based upon an application, personal statement, and recommendation form.
