![]() |
Terry Moore of Owensboro has been selected for the initial Helen Grothem award, a new scholarship for students in the occupational therapist assistant (OTA) program at Madisonville Community College. She was chosen by her fellow students for her professional attitude in class. She is the treasurer of the OTA student organization and is in her second semester of OTA course work.
The scholarship was created in honor of Helen Grothem, who served as the OTA program coordinator for 13 years until her retirement in December 2008. Grothem developed the OTA program at MCC, the first of its kind in Kentucky. She has been a member of American Occupational Therapy Association for 45 years and an active member of Kentucky Occupational Therapy Association since 1996.
The Grothem award will be initially funded for three academic years, with a $700 award available each spring semester. According to Kim Qualls, OTA program director at MCC, the fund will be sustained through the program's student organization and on-going donations from community friends.
