John H. Drabing, D.O., Osteopathic Medical Student Scholarship

Ensuring the future of Osteopathic Medicine in Colorado begins by supporting today’s Osteopathic medical students. The Colorado Springs Osteopathic Foundation is proud to award up to five $10,000 tuition scholarships to students entering their third year at an AOA accredited College of Osteopathic Medicine. These scholarships are renewed automatically for $10,000 each for the fourth year as long as the students are in good standing with their College of Osteopathic Medicine. In addition, the Walter S. Strode, D.O. Memorial Scholarship has been established and is awarded to one applicant annually.
