This scholarship program is currently open to all full-time master’s
program 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 2001.
