Standard Process, Inc., has created a $10,000 annual scholarship through Life Chiropractic College West in recognition of Life West alumnus Michael Dobbins, DC. The donation was announced at a luncheon held during Life West's annual Homecoming Festival.
The Dr. Michael Dobbins Excellence in Nutritional Education scholarship will be awarded to a Life West student each year for the next 10 years. Standard Process President Charlie DuBois announced the scholarship at the Florida Chiropractic Association's convention in Orlando, Fla., where DuBois also presented Dr. Dobbins with the Excellence in Nutritional Education Award.
For many years Dr. Dobbins has been educating the public, his patients and colleagues on the value of combining chiropractic and whole-food nutritional supplements to promote well-being and maintain good health. In addition to his lecturing, he maintains a busy practice in Alameda, Calif.
Details on the new scholarship are provided in the current student scholarship sectionof the Life West Web site at www.lifewest.edu/financialaid/cur_student_scholarship.shtml.
