This scholarship program is currently open to all full-time certificate
candidates enrolled in Northwestern University's Prosthetic Orthotic Center
(NUPOC). The chief purpose of the scholarship is to encourage student
participation in their local annual meeting of the American Academy of
Orthotists and Prosthetists (AAOP). It is expected that the award will be
used specifically to defray meeting registration fees of their local AAOP
meeting and assist in the purchasing of books, supplies, and equipment
needed for ongoing studies at NUPOC.
In November 2001, a memorial fund was established at OPAF in the name of
Dale Yasukawa CP. In cooperation with Linda Yasukawa, PT, MS, OPAF has
created a scholarship program connected to Dale's memorial fund.
Yasukawa, who died on November 22, 2001 at the age of 43, served as director
of prosthetics at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago (RIC) in the
department of prosthetic-orthotic clinical services. He began his work with
RIC in 1988 as a physical therapy aid. In 1990, he joined the O&P clinical
services department, and in 1991 Yasukawa attended the Northwestern
University prosthetics certificate program. He became an ABC-certified
prosthetist in 1993 and throughout his career worked with patients of all
ages - children, young adults, and geriatrics. Yasukawa was involved in the
Midwest Chapter of the American Academy of Orthotists & Prosthetists for
over seven years, completing his service as immediate past president in
