Optometry's Fund for Disaster Relief
Providing immediate aid in the wake of a catastrophic event
AOA/AOSA Opportunities in Optometry Grants
To promote diversity and equity in the optometric profession for generations to come, the American Optometric Association and the American Optometric Student Association have created the AOA/AOSA Opportunities in Optometry Grant program. This fund is designed as a one-time stipend for under-represented minority students interested in the field of optometry to help defray costs associated with applying to optometry school.
