Alexia Sharp, DPT Class of 2022
The Department of Physical Therapy awards four privately funded student scholarships to Doctor of Physical Therapy Students each year. These scholarships are made possible each year by the generous contributions received by many alumni of the UCA Physical Therapy program. Their gifts not only impact students currently in the program, but positively impacts the programs in physical therapy at UCA as well as the future of the profession. These scholarships each honor a person who is special to the alumni, students and faculty of the Department of Physical Therapy at the University of Central Arkansas.
