This year, we were able to grant this award thanks to the following AOM Schools. We hope annual support of this program becomes the norm for ALL 70 AOM Schools. This will enable us to add one special $10,000 award. This is our goal, and we can only do it with your support!
- Daoist Traditions has set the bar by supporting this program all SIX years.
- AOMA Graduate School of Integrative Medicine came on board in the second year of our program and has sponsored consecutively now for FIVE years.
- Dragon Rises are in their THIRD year of making scholarship a priority for their students.
- Middle Way Acupuncture Institute is in their SECOND year with us
