According to a recent press release, Reminder Services announced the launch of a new scholarship program on Friday, September 1 of this year.

For those unfamiliar with the organization, Reminder Services, Inc. is a provider of automated communications for the healthcare industry.

In other words, Reminder Services, Inc. is a company that provides automated appointment reminders. The company is based in Silicon-Valley and works with many Physical Therapy EHRs, EMRs, and scheduling software products.

Essentially, what the company does is allow therapists to send appointment reminder calls, reminder text messages, and even reminder emails to their patients. The service is run through ReminderCall.com and is perfect for therapists that want to ensure their patients are getting the best services possible.

And, an additional plus is that therapists can customize absolutely everything, from voices and languages to the delivery dates, times, and frequencies.

In addition, the service helps therapists adhere to FCC, TCPA, CANSPAM, HIPAA, and CASL guidelines.

So, as a student, what does this have to do with you?

The new scholarship program from Reminder Services, Inc. is meant for students pursuing an education in physical therapy. The age of technology is upon us, and you need to be equipped to handle such changes while simultaneously moving forward in your chosen career education.

While many are likely unfamiliar with this program, working professionals looking to maintain efficiency while simultaneously ensuring their patients are given the best possible care are relying on this program. So, it only makes sense that the company set forth a scholarship program to bring in new, fresh minds into physical therapy that are willing to utilize this tool in their professional careers as well.

So yes, the scholarship program is mutually beneficial, and it might just help to set you apart from the others in their program. It always helps to get ahead of the game when it comes to your professional and academic careers, so this is a giant step forward for your future.

This scholarship is in its inaugural year, and it’s a big one. The Physical Therapy Scholarship awards $1,000 to up to five students within physical therapy who, according to the press release, “exhibit academic excellence and a strong sense of personal commitment to continuing their education.”

While the cost of college is at an all-time high, any little bit helps, and a $1,000 prize for a student that’s truly exemplary in the field is a positive resume booster as well. In other words, if you qualify for this scholarship, it’s worth taking a look and applying, as this is potentially a game changer for you. Or, at least, it’ll save you a little money on your student loans.

As a student, this is definitely something to strongly consider and speak with your parents about, as this is a great money saver and a technology that’s going to be integral to your success in your future occupation.

According to Chantal Oicles, President of Reminder Services:

“ReminderCall.com has been providing patient reminders to physical therapists since 1998. Over the years we’ve come to realize that the physical therapy field is often overlooked by scholarship grantors. We’re excited to help aspiring PTs fund their education. It’s our way of thanking the physical therapy community for welcoming us with open arms.”

So how do you apply for the scholarship?

Eligible applicants should visit the website and must submit their applications by Halloween, October 31, 2017. So this deadline is coming up fast, and applications are already pouring in.

And how do you know if you are eligible for the scholarship? Eligible applicants must be U.S. residents that are enrolled in college currently as a sophomore, junior, or senior.

In order to bring this scholarship program forward, Reminder Services partnered with International Scholarship and Tuition Services, Inc. (ISTS).
