$10,000 Rural Healthcare Scholarship Program

In the interest of recruiting high quality employees, Big Stone Therapies has partnered with the University of Minnesota Physical Therapy Program to develop a scholarship to help pay a portion of the educational expenses associated with obtaining their degree.

We have designed this scholarship program to pay scholarship dollars up front to the recipient to help defray their education expenses. The scholarship is available to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd year students and can be paid out in one payment or multiple payments throughout the years enrolled in schooling. There are two scholarships available for each class of students.

Scholarship recipients are guaranteed to receive a clinical placement and an offer for a full-time Physical Therapist position at Big Stone Therapies!

Perks of full-time employment with BST include:

Full benefits package including health and dental insurance, 401k contribution, paid time off, paid holidays, and more!
Professional development opportunities including paid license and membership fees
Mission trips opportunities in Guatemala
Mentorship programs to train alongside highly skilled clinicians within our company

Scholarship recipients must verify enrollment in the University of Minnesota Physical Therapy program prior to disbursement of the scholarship payments.
Scholarship recipients will sign an agreement to accept employment with BST upon graduation from the Physical Therapy program and commit to working for BST for 3 years.
The agreement includes a schedule by which a percentage of the loan is forgiven for each year of employment, up to 3-years, at which time the loan and all accrued interest are fully forgiven.*
