About the Grant
The Steven Levine APTA House of Delegates Student Grant provides funding for a PT or PTA student FPTA member to attend the APTA House of Delegates — an APTA policymaking body which meets annually and makes decisions on issues that may have far-reaching implications for the association and for the profession of physical therapy. The House also elects national APTA leadership. The recipient of the Steven Levine APTA House of Delegates Student Grant will receive up to $1,400 to attend.
