The Bridge to Ability Scholarships were created to help reduce or eliminate the financial barriers that can make it impossible for those living with limb loss or limb difference and their caregivers to attend the Amputee Coalition National Conference for the first time. The Bridge to Ability Scholarships are made possible by our generous donors. We are especially grateful to Kathy Spozio’s family for establishing this scholarship program.
