2022 saw the biggest number of educational grant recipients nominated by Colleges and Schools of Osteopathic Medicine with a total of 43 recipients.
This educational grant was established in 2001 to provide monetary aid to students in need at each College or School of Osteopathic Medicine. In October 2002, the grant was renamed the Welch Scholars Grant in honor of Sterling Welch, DO, for his outstanding generosity to the American Osteopathic Foundation and his desire to support Osteopathic medical students.
