About OATH Program
The OATH Program was designed to aid Certified Athletic Trainers and Athletic Training Students studying and working in the state of North Carolina with assistance during times of hardship. The OATH Program offers aid in two different categories: Student & New Graduate Assistance, and Athletic Trainer Hardship Assistance.
Category A: The Student & New Graduate Assistance is designed to provide aid for those that qualify in the following scenarios:
-
Athletic training students having difficulty with NATA & NCATA dues or NCATA Symposium registration
-
New graduates (graduated within the last year) having difficulty paying for their North Carolina state licensure (not covered by employer), NATA dues or NCATA Symposium registration
Category B: The Athletic Trainer Hardship Assistance is designed to aid those that qualify in the following scenarios:
-
Natural disaster impacting personal ability to perform your job (house fire, flooding, etc.)
-
Natural disaster impacting professional ability to perform your job (lost necessary equipment in fire, flood, etc.)
-
Limited budget resources preventing the purchase of essential athletic training equipment or supplies necessary to improve job performance.

Julianna Blatz – High Point Central High School
Thanks to support from the NCATA OATH Program, Julianna Blatz, Athletic Trainer at High Point Central High School, received a grant to purchase a vacuum splint bag to enhance the care she provides to her student-athletes. The OATH Program exists to support athletic trainers and athletic training students across North Carolina, helping ensure they have the resources needed to deliver exceptional patient care. By assisting with essential equipment like this vacuum splint bag, the OATH Program helps athletic trainers like Julianna continue protecting and supporting the health and safety of the athletes they serve.
