Rizing Tide Foundation

Scholarships support students pursuing a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree and physical therapists continuing their education through residency programs. The foundation also provides mentorship with industry leaders, quarterly educational sessions, and a supportive community for student and resident scholars. Scholars can attend an annual in-person summit and access connections for clinical affiliations and future employment. Its Crest scholarship serves incoming undergraduate DPT students and PT assistants in bridge programs, while its Surge scholarship supports graduating DPT students pursuing residency. Rizing Tide Foundation focuses on supporting historically underrepresented physical therapy students, with the aim of expanding access to care and developing future leaders. It is based in Phoenix.
