Resident Scholarship Program

 

Applications for Winter Meeting 2022 Scholarships are now closed. Watch for information on Resident Scholarships for Annual Meeting 2022 this spring.

The AOFAS Resident Scholarship Program provides an incredible opportunity for orthopaedic surgery residents to attend an AOFAS meeting, where they can explore the foot and ankle specialty and meet leaders in the field. The scholarship covers registration fees for all meeting activities, plus lodging and a transportation stipend.

— Adam M. Lukasiewicz, MD, Past Resident Scholar

  • Be in good academic standing


Application Process

Applicants must:

  • Complete and submit the application

  • Include a personal statement (no longer than 500 words) describing their interest in foot and ankle, what they want to learn from this experience, and how they will share what they learn

  • Include a curriculum vitae

  • Obtain a written recommendation from their orthopaedic training program director


Selection Process

Resident Scholarship recipients are selected based on assessment of the resident's application, demonstrated interest in foot and ankle, and recommendation of the training program director.

Note: The Resident Scholarship is a non-transferable, one-time-only opportunity. Scholars agree to abide by program terms and acknowledge that acceptance of a scholarship precludes receiving any future Resident Scholarships.
