We also support our OT practitioners. The amount available is based on donations received, dedicated fundraising activities throughout the year, and funds raised by the annual Scholarship Silent/Live Auction held the previous year at the OTAO Annual Conference. Applicants for our scholarships must be members of OTAO.

Scholarships will be presented at OTAO’s Annual Conference in October.  Watch our website and social media platforms for further information!
