The University offers optometry students a number of grants and scholarships each year that provide incentive for learning and research. These awards are monetary gifts and do not require repayment.
Through its “Looking Out for Kids” (LOFK) vision care initiative, the University has brightened thousands of children’s lives by ensuring they receive the vision care necessary for their educational success.
Located at The Eye Institute, the William Feinbloom Vision Rehabilitation Center offers visually impaired individuals information, instruction and access to specialized magnification devices.
Endowed scholarships allow ambitious students from all backgrounds to attend Salus University and start their careers with less debt so they can focus on meeting the nation's growing needs for a highly skilled healthcare workforce.
A minimum gift or multi-year pledge (up to five years) of $25,000 will activate an endowment. The funds from interest earned on the principle will be provided in perpetuity. If you decide on a multi-year pledge, the first scholarship is awarded one-year after the endowment becomes fully funded (unless you fund an additional annual gift of $500 in which case such funds will be awarded to the recipient until such time as the endowment becomes fully funded.) Additional gifts may be made to a named scholarship endowment fund at any time.
