The Antoinette M. Molinari Scholarship
Purpose
The Antoinette M. Molinari Scholarship was set up to assist an exceptional student who has extraordinary financial needs and, as such, would have difficulty meeting the financial requirements of attending optometry school. Financial need is a major criteria for selection, but academic and leadership potential are also important considerations.
Award
One scholarship of $6,000 will be awarded for the academic year. To see if your school is eligible for this year, please see the list below.
Eligibility
Eligible applicants are students pursuing a Doctorate of Optometry through a full-time course of study and who maintain a grade point average of 3.5 (4 point scale) or higher for all course work taken thus far in optometry school. This scholarship is open to first through third year students already enrolled in optometry programs.
Application and Review Procedures
The AOF informs the schools designated for the current year's program that it may seek candidates. The application form may be downloaded and shared with potential candidates. Students are asked to assemble applications composed of the forms, transcripts and proof of financial need. The school is responsible for transmitting them to AOF by the deadline. The Molinari Family, in collaboration with a Review Committee, will select the scholarship recipient.
