2026 Ather Ali ND Scholarship Application for Naturopathic Physicians

SCHOLARSHIP DESCRIPTION

The Academic Consortium for Integrative Medicine & Health Ather Ali Scholarship Award for Naturopathic Physicians (NDs) was established with support from the Samueli Foundation, Ather’s parents, Akbar and Sahibzadi Faizunisa, and the generosity of individuals in our community to honor the life, work, memory, and spirit of Ather Ali, ND, MPH, MHS. Ather was one of very few naturopathic physicians in North America who became truly integrated into an academic medical center, assuming an international leadership position in integrative medicine and health. Excitingly, Mr. and Mrs. Faizunisa are sponsoring a second scholarship for the 2026 ICIMH, making it possible for two NDs to attend in Ather's memory.

The scholarship includes complimentary registration, up to three nights' accommodation at Hyatt Regency Salt Lake City, and up to $500 for air and/or ground transportation expenses. Previous recipients are ineligible. All award benefits are exclusive to the recipient and cannot be transferred to another individual.

Members interested in applying for the Ather Ali Scholarship for NDs must submit by January 16, 2026.
