Because they have yet to pass national legislation protecting the chiropractic profession, Japanese DCs are in a similar situation that U.S. DCs faced. We were fortunate enough to be able to pass chiropractic licensure state by state. The DCs in Japan must accomplish this nationally, which has proved to be an extremely difficult task. And in spite of their efforts, Japanese DCs are currently faced with two chiropractic professions.
Texas Chiropractic College Announces New Scholarship Opportunities
Texas Chiropractic College is pleased to announce the launch of the Academic Honors Award scholarship, which will provide $2,000 for high-achieving incoming students.
The TCC Scholarship Committee decided to create the one-time scholarship award to all incoming students who have earned a cumulative grade-point average of 3.25-3.49 in their previous coursework.
This new program complements the college's Pathway to Excellence Scholarship, which was launched in fall 2010 and is for incoming students who have earned a 3.5 or better cumulative GPA in their previous courses. Pathway Scholars are guaranteed $2,000 in each of their first three trimesters and have the opportunity to earn up to $20,000 over their 10 trimesters if they maintain a 3.25 or better TCC cumulative GPA.
In addition to these admission-based scholarships, the TCC Faculty Association recently launched five scholarships for currently enrolled students: the Academic Excellence Scholarship, Student Clinic Scholarship, Outpatient Clinic Scholarship, Service Scholarship, and Research Scholarship. These awards are $750 each and offered every trimester. Eligibility requirements vary with each award.
To learn more about scholarship opportunities for incoming students, contact the Office of Admission at 1-800-468-6839, 281-998-6007 or admissions@txchiro.edu.
