The purpose of the scholarship is to expose LGBTQIA+ and ally students to orthopaedic surgery through attendance at the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS) and our Pride Ortho annual meetings. The scholarship will substantially reduce the cost burden of attending the meeting, with an anticipated scholarship amount of at minimum $1,000 per student. Theses scholarships are funded in part by an IDEA Grant from the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons. Activities will include mentoring with surgeon members of Pride Ortho, group outings with the Pride Ortho scholars, and attending the Pride Ortho annual meeting. The students will also be enrolled in the AAOS medical student programming on 3/3/26, and they will be encouraged to participate in other AAOS and affiliate organization events, such as the RJOS and JRGOS events. Please note, after the AAOS meeting, we will ask for written feedback regarding how the AAOS events and this scholarship programming impacted you. Applicants must be Pride Ortho members by the time they submit their application. Become a member here. The application is due on December 7th, 2025 at 11:59pm EST. Awardees will be notified by the beginning of January 2026. Click here to apply!
