Mid Atlantic Spinal Rehab Offers $1,000 Pain Relief Scholarship

Mid Atlantic Spinal Rehab & Chiropractic, a Baltimore-based practice founded in 2012, has announced the Pain Relief and Wellness Scholarship—a $1,000 award aimed at students who are passionate about alleviating pain and improving health. Applications are open now through August 31, 2027, with the recipient to be announced in September 2027. The scholarship is open to students enrolled in accredited undergraduate, graduate, or professional programs across the United States, including community college students, as well as high school seniors and GED holders who have been accepted into such programs. Applicants must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.00 and submit a 1,000-word essay, an updated resume, and an unofficial transcript. The essay should explain what inspired the applicant to help people with pain, what they have done toward that goal, and how their education will help them achieve it. The scholarship is not limited to any one field of study, but essays must demonstrate a clear commitment to pain relief and wellness.

“Every day, our doctors and staff see how much relieving pain can change a person's physical and mental health,” said founder Dr. Marc Gulitz. “This scholarship lets us invest in a student who shares that purpose, whether they plan to become a chiropractor, a physical therapist, a nurse, or another provider focused on helping others recover.” Dr. Gulitz holds a B.S. in molecular biology from Lehigh University and a Doctor of Chiropractic degree from New York Chiropractic College, and he serves on the board of the Maryland Chiropractic Association. Founded in Baltimore in 2012, the practice now has 14 chiropractors and serves patients across Baltimore City and five surrounding Maryland counties. The practice's services include chiropractic care, physical therapy in Baltimore, MD, corrective exercises, spinal and postural screenings, and lifestyle advice. This scholarship reflects the practice’s commitment to fostering the next generation of pain relief and wellness professionals.
