Kelly Family Endowment Leadership Scholarship Application
Financial support for the everyday needs of emerging Orthopaedic Surgeons. The Kelly Family Endowment’s Leadership Scholarship was conceived to develop leadership skills for those younger AANA members who by virtue of race, gender, health or financial situation, have experienced unusual hardship in their journey in becoming an Orthopaedic Surgeon. The Scholarship is in honor of Michael P. Kelly, Sr, noted civil rights attorney and champion of the underserved. The endowment’s chief aim is to prepare and equip future leaders to help both navigate and transform the current culture of Orthopaedic Surgery which poorly represents women, minorities and the impoverished.
