Howard Scalone DO Memorial Scholarship

GRADUATE AWARD
The Howard Scalone, DO, Memorial Scholarship was established in memory of one of the College’s earliest and most dedicated supporters. Dr. Scalone was an anesthesiologist at Eastmoreland Hospital, where he trained countless medical students and residents over the years, including most of the DOs now on faculty at COMP-Northwest. He rarely missed an interview day to help select the next class of students, and he cheered as each class graduated a few years later. Within the Oregon osteopathic community, Dr. Scalone was one of the giants, whose shoulders were always broad enough to carry many. His wisdom, dedication, kindness, intellectual curiosity, love for osteopathic medicine and all of our students, and his love for his family will always be remembered.

To honor Dr. Scalone and his commitment to COMP-Northwest, the Howard Scalone, DO, Memorial Scholarship shall be awarded to a graduating HCOM student in good academic standing who is committed to incorporating osteopathic manual manipulation (OMM) into their practice. With the assistance of his friends and family, the legacy of Dr. Scalone will always be a part of WesternU’s COMP-Northwest.

Please limit your applications to a maximum of three Graduate Awards and three Honors & Recognition Awards. Applications exceeding these limits will not be considered.
