On April 4, 2020, Savannah Ambucs presented $19,250 in scholarships to graduate students of physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy programs within The University Systems of Georgia and South Carolina who are actively volunteering within their communities.

The annual Savannah Ambucs scholarship program represents the largest single private source of educational grants for therapists in America. Since 1955, the Ambucs nonprofit organization has funded more than $9 million in scholarships as part of its mission to empower others and make a difference in the communities they serve, especially those with different abilities.

“We believe the best way to achieve our mission and support future generations of therapists is through providing access to critical scholarship dollars,” said Kevin Sheehan, President of Savannah Ambucs. “The investment of just one scholarship pays for itself a thousand times over as most clinical practitioners spend their entire careers or lifetime working with people with different abilities. We’re excited to present another round of funding to this year's list of deserving students. They should all feel empowered and extremely proud of their accomplishments.”
