Each year, SSP Kappa Chapter awards a $1,000 scholarship to a second year student who has demonstrated outstanding academic scholarship and provided noteworthy service to UNECOM, the osteopathic profession, and the surrounding community. We offer this scholarship in honor of the first dean of our college, William B Strong, DO. Members of the second year class are nominated by their classmates and submit an application, which is reviewed by a faculty committee of basic and clinical science professors.
