The SCTF provides a limited number of scholarships for the Basic Course: Osteopathy in the Cranial Field to eligible medical students, residents, and fellows. The amount of the scholarship can vary, depending on funding.

TO APPLY for a Scholarship: submit a course registration form with a deposit of 50% of the course fee. Scholarship applications will be collected until 6 weeks before the course. The Course Director will then determine the awards on a priority order of PGY4,3,2,1, Fellows, MS4, and MS3. If a scholarship is not awarded, the balance of course fees will be due but may be paid over a 60-day period from when you are notified.

CANCELLATION FEE: If you find you need to cancel your registration for an SCTF course, a fee of $200 is applied up to 6 weeks before the course begins. Any cancellation after 6 weeks before the course results in forfeiture of all tuition paid for the course. Extenuating circumstances may be considered.
