Student scholarships

This scholarship is awarded to students who have entered the final two years of their chiropractic degree.

Recipients receive registration for the FICS online learning of the International Certificate in Sports Chiropractic (ICSC) valued at CHF 2,600.00, an honorary position on a FICS commission for 12 months, and a cash prize of CHF 500.00.

By accepting this award students will play an active part in the FICS commission, by attending four virtual meetings per year, which are conducted via Zoom meeting room, contributing their ideas within meetings, following through on any tasks they agree to assist with from meetings, being open to different ways of thinking, being accessible to the commission chair and responding to emails.

The cash prize is transferred to the students’ nominated bank account.

Students applying for one of the four student scholarships must be enrolled full-time at an accredited/recognised chiropractic institution, graduating in or after the year of the award.

Emerging student scholarship

Early years of studies.

The emerging student award recognises a sports chiropractic student who has not yet entered the final two years of their degree. This will be open to all students enrolled full-time in a chiropractic program, not in the final two years of their studies. The recipient of this award will receive a cash component of  CHF 1,000.00, which will be transferred directly to the recipient’s educational institution to use for their tuition and learning aid purposes. The recipient will be assigned a mentor from FICS to encourage engagement with the organisation and to ensure that the recipient is assisted in their sports chiropractic and leadership development.  

Students applying for the emerging student award must be enrolled full-time at an accredited/recognised chiropractic institution and must not yet have entered the final two years of their degree.

The Swiss franc (CHF) is FICS’ official currency. All registration prices will be listed in Swiss Franc (CHF). Currency conversions vary; check the current exchange rate when planning your costs.

Recent graduate scholarships

FICS Recent Graduate Scholarship is new for 2027. 

The scholarship represents an investment by FICS in the recipient’s professional development. Applicants should therefore be ready to make a corresponding commitment of time, effort and ongoing engagement.

Take the next step towards a career in sports chiropractic with education, mentoring and international professional connections. The transition from student to practising chiropractor is an exciting stage—but it can also be challenging. The FICS Recent Graduate Scholarship is designed to support emerging chiropractors as they begin building their careers and working towards the International Certificate in Sports Chiropractic (ICSC).

Who can apply?  Applicants must be qualified chiropractors who have been in clinical practice for less than 12 months at the time of application.

What does the scholarship include?  The successful recipient will receive:

  • First six (6) of the ten FICS ICSC online learning modules, valued at CHF 1,923, providing a significant financial head start towards completing the ICSC.
  • Connection to the FICS Mentoring Program, providing guidance and support from experienced professionals within the international sports chiropractic community
  • Opportunities to build professional connections and better understand the pathway into sports chiropractic and international sporting events

Your qualification is only the beginning.
Take the next step towards a career in sports chiropractic with education, mentoring and international professional connections.

Why does the scholarship cover the first six modules?  The scholarship is designed to provide a strong and practical start towards the ICSC, while encouraging recipients to take ownership of their continuing professional development. The first six modules provide a substantial educational and financial foundation, allowing the successful recipient to build knowledge, confidence and momentum early in their career.

The scholarship does not cover the full ICSC pathway. Recipients are expected to demonstrate a genuine commitment to sports chiropractic by actively completing the scholarship modules, participating in the FICS Mentoring Program and continuing to work towards completion of the remaining ICSC requirements.

Recent graduates use the same application form and complete the same written submissions, video and supporting requirements. They may use someone from their clinic as their referee instead of a university faculty member. Recent graduate recipients are not required to accept a position on a FICS commission.

Example essay. This is provided as a guide to what the judges are looking for and needs to reflect a balance of any research referenced and the submitting students own work and opinion. 

The majority of modern research regarding the conservative management of neuromusculoskeletal injuries concludes that athletes achieve optimal outcomes when subjected to a combination of passive and active care.1,2,3,4 After five years of university training, and with the additional certification of the ICCSP, sports chiropractors are in a skilful position to deliver quality care for athletes and active individuals. 5 Furthermore, the International Olympic Committee describes that the responsibility of the sports medicine profession is to care for the health and welfare of Olympic athletes, by treating and preventing injuries through medical examinations, nutritional advice, prescribing training programs and monitoring substance abuse.6 By contributing to a multi-disciplinary team, sports chiropractors are in an adept position to contribute to this responsibility.

Sports chiropractors can bring a multi-modal approach and utilise diverse techniques when treating athletes. Training sessions are an integral part of being an athlete, and sports chiropractors are in a suitable position to assist with warm-ups and cool downs, sport specific strength and conditioning, and the implementation of injury prevention programs. Whilst orthodox elite sporting organisations and programs have access to multi-disciplinary teams to carry out various components of an athlete’s management, minor sports with minimal funding, or local clubs funded by predominantly fundraising or player subscription, lack such expertise and guidance. In this circumstance, sports chiropractors can be greatly influential, and bear the ideal and appropriate skillset to be the chief health practitioner. By employing various techniques; including peripheral joint mobilisation/manipulation, spinal manipulative therapy, rehabilitation and exercise prescription, soft tissue techniques including instrument assisted, and other physiological therapeutic modalities such as taping and bracing, sports chiropractors can educate and facilitate injury prevention and management programs. These different techniques can be utilised not only for injury management, but additionally on game day and during competition to reduce pain, improve function and importantly assist performance. More specifically, the application of dynamic/active tape can be used to decrease load to an injured area7, performing proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation may increase range of motion8, and the mobilisation of peripheral joints with the prescription of specific exercise is known to improve joint position sense.9,10 Along with assisting athletes as a sole practitioner during training and competition, sports chiropractors are able to contribute to the management of an athlete/sports team within a multidisciplinary environment which is a crucial component for working within larger scale sporting teams.

As more research is conducted into the effectiveness of multidisciplinary teams and interdisciplinary collaboration (IDC), it is becoming increasingly evident that optimal outcomes are produced when health professionals work intercollaboratively.11 The inclusion of sports chiropractors on multi-disciplinary teams is not only beneficial for the athlete due to reasons previously described, but for the progression and future growth of the chiropractic profession. IDC assists to uphold patient centred care rather than focus on a particular profession, and allows for the blending of professional attributes, skills, and knowledge to achieve optimal patient care, satisfaction and outcomes.12 Although IDC should be implemented across all health sectors and not only restricted to sports health, the realm of sports medicine provides an exemplary opportunity for coaches, team doctors, physiotherapists, sports chiropractors, exercise physiologists, exercise scientists, psychologists and other experienced allied health professionals to work in a multi-disciplinary environment to facilitate excellence in sporting perfomance.13 Working in a collaborative manner will ensure sports chiropractors are perceived as patient centred, evidence based practitioners who are willing to look beyond chiropractic research. Overall, IDC assists to develop a level of trust and respect from other health professions towards sports chiropractors, which may assist to shift perceptions of the current divided climate of the chiropractic profession as a whole.

How applications are judged

FICS engages a panel of judges from across the globe to select the winners of these prestigious scholarships. 

The panel is made up of: 

  • Panel Chair 
  • FICS Student Commission Chair
  • Invite University Faculty member
  • Invite NCSC representative with curriculum/educational background
  • Invite sponsors representative 
  • Invited past scholarship holder who has demonstrated excellence and passion within sports chiropractic over a period of two years post scholarship. 
  • Invited independent judge  

The rubric criteria provided on this website outlines how the scholarship application/documents are read, graded, and scored.

The judging panel uses this to assist in providing the selection committee with a consistent model with minimum personal bias.

Sections are scored on a scale from one to ten based upon criteria outlined in each section. This scale represents the raw points available. The total score for the application is not necessarily revealing of the final ranking of the applicant as compared to the scores of other applications. The purpose of assigning a score is to provide an indicator so that the selection committee may consider particular circumstances and adjust the final rankings as needed.

FICS admin assistance undertakes the checks on the applicant's name and college to verify the educational institution is a member of CCEI.

The student's educational institute must be recognised and listed as an accredited college on the CCEI register to be eligible for this scholarship.

Using the scholarship scoring rubrics, each Judge on the selection committee reviews each application and allocates the appropriate score per section. The judges score each section individually.

Once all the judges have logged their scores, the panel comes together to discuss the final results and award the scholarships. 

Examples of each section have been provided with the rubrics that the judges use to mark against.

Remember, all submitted work must be the student's own work.
