Diversity scholarship resources

The Chan Division funds a Vision Scholarship, for incoming students to the Entry-Level Master’s program, which provides financial aid to Latinx and/or African American students who exemplify the ideals and characteristics of the American Occupational Therapy Association’s (AOTA) Vision 2025. For more information, and to apply, go to the page for Chan Division Scholarships and select the Entry Level Master’s Program (Incoming Students).

The Richard J. McCauley Graduate Fellowship is given to a continuing Entry-Level Master’s student deemed to have potential for leadership roles, and the donor wishes to support diversity among professional practitioners. For more information, and to apply, go to the page for Chan Division Scholarships and select the Entry Level Master’s Program (Continuing Students).

We also maintain a list of scholarships made available by USC and other bodies. Use the Diversity filter to display those scholarships which have a diversity requirement.
