An additional 5,000 could be used right now, if they existed, according to the foundation. Pointing out that courses at five or more of the approved schools of physical therapy begin in either June or July, the national founda tion said it hopes to select its first group of scholarship recipients in time for enrollment at some of these schools. Scholarships are available to graduates of accredit ed schools of nursing and colleges offering a B.S. degree in physical education, as well as to all men and women who have the science requirement. Training Period “Courses at approved schools run for from nine to twelve months,” explained Miss Catherine Worthingham, director of technical education for the foundation. “That means it will be March, 1946, at the earliest, before a new group of qualified physical therapists will be ready to serve discharged ser vice men, victims of infantile pa ralysis and other disabling dis eases, those injured in industrial accidents and all the others whose recoveries depend in such large part upon intensive and regular physical therapy. “The national foundation’s phys ical therapy program covers the period of the next three years. But the sooner we can start students with proper prerequisites on their physical therapy training, the sooner we shall begin to overcome the present acute shortage of quali fied physical therapists.” Scholarships Available The sum of $1,267,600 has been set aside for student scholarships, teaching fellowships, and general development of the field of phys ical therapy. Scholarships cover tuition and books, when necessary, maintenance and transportation to the school. Candidates will be isked to state their preference as to schools, giving second and third choices for use in the event the school of first choice is filled to capacity. »»'• , Pfiai ,a^ uw 1.951» 4 95 •rt \0 K»- 9°'?, *^is cV>°rrf' tr\ends f-0\\ct' Prec .ceS...VouT . choose M* 'O'" l°<° o to"' °col W Y°j',ra V.«° "°C o, doWv''"ta ss-**-4* .. 4.50 10 kt.
