New Rehabilitation Scholarships Open at Thomas University!
Post Published On:Thomas University (TU) announced today that it has begun processing new undergraduate and graduate Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) scholarships for students of Southwest Georgia.
“We are so pumped about The RSA grant scholarships,” said Dr. Pauline Patrick, Chair of the Division of Social and Behavioral Sciences at TU. “Working in the field of vocational rehabilitation is such a noble profession. And there are a lot of jobs out there for those who choose this career path. The RSA grants are available to help promote the career aspirations for students who are passionate about helping individuals with disabilities.”
“This is a big deal,” Patrick added. “There are a lot of potential recipients of the RSA grant scholarship throughout South Georgia. Not many high school students or those in two-year degree programs know about this rewarding career. Those who are care about helping others often consider the vocational rehabilitation path once they are introduced to it.”
According to Patrick, there are two kinds of RSA Scholarships, one for undergraduate and one for graduate school. Qualified students majoring in Rehabilitation Studies at TU receive over $10,000 for tuition in their senior year and are then fast-tracked for the full ride scholarships in the masters degree program in rehabilitation counseling. The graduate school scholarships, Patrick said, can amount to well over $35,000 for tuition.
“Both undergraduate and graduate programs in rehabilitation studies are fully online,” Patrick continued. “What a terrific opportunity to pursue a meaningful career while not turning your life upside down to get there.”
Vocational Rehabilitation offices throughout the region are looking for graduates from Thomas University, Patrick emphasized. While there is uncertainty in the labor market these days due to AI, there are many high-paying jobs in the rehabilitation field across the country. “We’re now hoping to spread the word,” said Patrick. “Those interested are encouraged to contact our office as soon as possible.”
