Sponsor a Rizing Tide Scholar
When you sponsor our scholars’ career development, you’re supporting the brightest upcoming DPT changemakers in the nation. Our career development programs prepare scholars for the future, helping them flourish and grow to unimaginable heights.
Rizing Tide scholarships are more than a one-and-done check.
We’re proud to offer financial assistance to our scholars—but more than that, we’re proud to coordinate career development, mentorship, and networking events to supplement their education. Year over year, our goal is to provide more opportunities than ever before. But we could use your help—and your sponsorship—to turbocharge our efforts.
