As part of the continuing effort to combat the laboratory worker shortage, the ASCP recently awarded 36 $1,000 scholarships (and six $500 phlebotomy scholarships) to the nation's top medical laboratory students as part of the Society's 2006-2007 Student Scholarships. Plus, like last year, the ASCP partnered with Dade Behring to give away 34 - $2,500 scholarships. In addition, 5 - $5,000 Legacy Scholarships were presented to students who are the children, grandchildren, or siblings of clinical laboratory professionals. A total of $149,000 in scholarships were awarded this year.
"The ASCP would like to thank the ASCP members who opted to donate to the scholarship fund on their annual ASCP membership renewal forms," said ASCP President John S.J. Brooks, MD, FASCP. "Your generosity helps make the program such a great success."
The ASCP annually awards the scholarships to students to become certified medical technologists, medical laboratory technicians, cytotechnologists, pathologists' assistants, phlebotomists, and histotechnologists/histologic technicians. Scholarships are awarded on the basis of academic achievement, professional goals and leadership abilities.
The ASCP began the student scholarship program in 1992 to encourage the best and brightest students to pursue careers in the laboratory. The program also aims to relieve some of the financial burden, which can be a roadblock for many talented students.
