In 1990, the Motyka Dannin Osteopathic Educational Foundation, Inc. (Motyka Dannin Foundation) was formed at the initiative of the Indiana Osteopathic Association (IOA).   Its mission is to raise and distribute funds primarily in support of the study of Osteopathic Medicine. This includes scholarships, grants for research, seminars, and similar programs.

By 2013 – 2014, the Motyka Dannin Foundation had awarded $84,500 in forgivable loans to 63 students from Indiana.  Of those, 19 students had received forgivable loans two times. Determined to do more each year, restructuring of the Motyka Dannin Foundation became a high priority of the IOA in 2015.

With the reorganization, we set a goal of raising $100,000 by May of 2017 and awarding our first forgivable loan in the amount of $10,000 the same year.  We achieved that goal and selected our first recipient in April of 2017. Adam Davis is a second-year student at the Marian University College of Osteopathic Medicine (MUCOM) in Indianapolis.  Recipients of other awards were Skyler Gick, a third-year student at MUCOM; Anneliese Huntzinger, a third-year student at MUCOM; and Olivia Smith, a third-year student at MUCOM.

Our aspiration is to become the premier scholarship opportunity for Indiana’s osteopathic medical students and to ensure our top-notch students begin and end their careers practicing in Indiana.

Your generous support will also allow us to continue awarding forgivable loans and providing opportunities for students to attend IOA CME events, attend DO Day on the Hill sponsored by the American Osteopathic Association (AOA), attend the AOA House of Delegates, and identify other useful initiatives for our students and members.
