The Carlotta Welles Scholarship is for students who will pursue an associate degree. Applicants must be currently enrolled at an AOTA-accredited or occupational therapy assistant (OTA) program. First-year OT students may apply. Applicants will need three total references: an academic reference, a character reference, and a reference from their OT Program Director. The academic reference should be from a current faculty member or faculty advisor who can speak about the applicant's academic ability. The character reference should be someone who can speak to the applicant's character. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the American Occupational Therapy Foundation for more information.
