The EMPOWER Scholarship encourages and supports ethnically diverse students who are pursuing a career in a medical or rehabilitation field. It is made possible by a generous gift from the David M. Hersey Endowment Fund of Courage Kenny Foundation.

Applicants must identify how they will use their education and training, and demonstrate their interest in rehabilitation. Selection is based on the applicant’s stated intentions, past achievements, need, and graduation ranking. An applicant need not have a disability.
