On March 31, Northwestern Health Sciences University (NWHSU) announced that The Joint Corp., a US franchisor of chiropractic clinics, has created a major endowed scholarship, The Joint Chiropractic Scholarship.
The scholarship will enable NWHSU to recruit and retain qualified students who want to pursue a degree in chiropractic medicine.
“As stewards of chiropractic, supporting and encouraging the success of future professionals is paramount to The Joint,” said Sanjiv Razdan, president and CEO of The Joint Corp. “The profession needs more passionate, committed practitioners, and we are pleased to grow our relationship with NWHSU to support their chiropractic students through this endowment scholarship.”
Scholarships fuel student success
NWHSU is committed to helping students succeed in school and their careers, and scholarships play a vital role in making this possible. Scholarships help relieve financial stress and demonstrate that there is a community of alumni, friends and companies, like The Joint, who believe these students will be leaders in the future of integrative, whole-person care.
When fully funded, The Joint Chiropractic Scholarship endowment will generate more than $6,000 per year for scholarships. NWHSU expects to make the first award in the winter of 2026.
Scholarships are one of the university’s top fundraising priorities. In the last four years, NWHSU has raised more than $1 million in scholarship gifts. Several scholarships are available for incoming and current chiropractic students; for more information, visit NWHSU’s chiropractic scholarships page.
