Fighting Back Scholarship Program

Our mission is to recognize and provide scholarships for individuals who are Fighting Back from a life changing injury or illness through courage, desire, and perseverance. Within a common medical setting, a patient’s insurance typically only covers limited rehabilitation. Upon the patient’s release, insurance coverage to continue the rebuilding process is all to often limited or even non-existent. Consequently, the fight back for many often ends when insurance runs out. The Fighting Back Scholarship Program was created in 1989 to assist individuals who have suffered a life-changing illness or injury, and are without the finances needed to participate in a rehabilitative exercise program. This rehabilitation helps individuals develop and maintain mobility and strength, and to increase their confidence.
