A very special person from our hand community, Mary Kasch, FAOTA, OTR, CHT, expressed a desire to share her passion for hand therapy by offering financial support to a well-deserving occupational or physical therapist who is striving to become a certified hand therapist. Mary Kasch, founding member and past president of ASHT, president and executive director of HTCC and staunch supporter of AHTF, was visionary and helped chart the course of the hand therapy specialty. To honor Mary’s wish, the Hand Therapy Tri-Alliance – comprising ASHT, HTCC and AHTF – has established the Mary Kasch Hand Therapy Certification Scholarship.
If you are passionate about hand therapy, dedicated to the specialty and pursuing the professional goal of becoming a certified hand therapist, consider applying for the Mary Kasch Hand Therapy Certification Scholarship. You are an eligible candidate if you meet HTCC’s general certification requirements or will meet the general certification requirements by the time the exam registration is due.
