2021/2022 Recipient: Bailey Smith

Bailey Smith of Van Buren Arkansas was one of the first recipients of the Crawford County Special High School Degen Scholarships! She has been with our program since 2015. She attends the University of Central Arkansas and will graduate with her Doctoral degree in Occupational Therapy in August 2022. We are very proud to have been able to support her in her efforts and know she will be outstanding wherever she lands! She wants to concentrate on hand therapy. She had some great experiences in this area while doing her level 2 fieldwork at Baptist outpatient in North Little Rock and gained even more experience in her second clinical at Hippos & Fish in North Little Rock. We look forward to seeing what Bailey's future holds - and it is going to be very bright. Congrats, Bailey!
