challenges massage school students to strive for excellence in their study of
massage therapy and be rewarded for their devotion to the profession.
To

entry-level massage therapy program at the time of application. They need
to submit a 500-word essay on why they have chosen to become a massage
therapist; their plans for their massage therapy career; and how they plan to
advance their career, while giving back to the profession. The recipient of the
scholarship will be announced in September and they will be recognized at their
massage therapy school. And, the recipient will be acknowledged during
the awards portion of the opening session of AMTA’s National Convention in Ft.
Worth, Texas, September 26.
