CEO of You Scholarship

Optometry Divas launched the CEO of You® Scholarship in 2021. The scholarship program is aimed at upcoming 3rd-year Optometry students who are passionate about Optometry and future professional autonomy.

The scholarship is open to upcoming female 3rd-year students in the fall. Optometry Divas will award up to $3,000*** in scholarship to the winner to pay for the following NBEO Examinations:

  • Part I ABS
  • Part II PAM

Optometry Divas believes that professional autonomy and a passion for one’s career bear enormous potential to initiate change, and students will play an important role in shaping the future of Optometry. Through the CEO of You® Scholarship, Optometry Divas hopes to turn passion into action and dreams into plans for future success.
