We have established scholarships to APTA members to fund registration for the 2027 APTA Combined Sections Meeting (CSM). Our goal is to promote and grow professional involvement within our professional organization and encourage participation in APTA/APTA PA activities. The NED serves the counties of Susquehanna, Northampton, Wayne, Lehigh, Luzerne, Lackawanna, Wyoming, Monroe, Carbon, and Pike.

We are currently seeking applicants for the upcoming CSM conference to be held in Philadelphia, PA on February 4-6, 2027. Specifically, we are hoping to award scholarships to 1 Physical Therapist; 1 Physical Therapist Assistant and 2 PT/PTA students to support ‘Early bird’ registration fees. Scholarships are open to PTs, PTAs and students as long as they are an APTA member in good standing (Non-members may apply with the expectation that they will become a member if accepted for the scholarship).
