What is the NCTRC Scholarship?
NCTRC recognizes the achievements of those who seek to advance their knowledge and professional competency to improve the quality of recreational therapy services. Individuals may apply for an NCTRC Scholarship for full or partial reimbursement of funds associated with successful completion (earned grade of C or better) of academic credit generating course(s) completed within the past 12 months. Academic courses must lead to application for Professional Eligibility, recertification of their CTRS® credential, Area of Specialization Designation, progress toward advancement of a degree in TR/RT, or enhanced recreational therapy knowledge to provide improved quality of care. Learn how to apply.
What if I am a non-matriculated student (not admitted to the program)?
You are not eligible for financial aid or the Future New Yorker grant. Instead of being billed for your tuition, you must pay when you register. You register using an alternate registration process.
