PURPOSE: The Alaska State Ultrasound Society is pleased to offer (2) grants in 2024: a $500.00 USD grant to a deserving 1st year sonography student, and a $1000 grant to a deserving 2nd year sonography student or other student completing clinical experience requirements in 2024. To qualify to apply, individuals must have been accepted, or currently enrolled in, an educational program in diagnostic medical sonography. We are offering these grants to students obtaining their education in diagnostic medical sonography from any accredited educational institution, however, a portion (or all) of their studies must be in the state of Alaska (ex. a clinical site).
RESTRICTIONS: There are no restrictions regarding how the recipient uses these funds. AKSUS recognizes that there are unique expenses related to clinical rotations during ultrasound education in Alaska which are not covered by other funding sources.
APPLICATION DEADLINE: The deadline to complete the grant application and submit the required documents is midnight April 5, 2024.
The selected individuals will be announced April 19th & 20th, during the ALASKA MEDICAL IMAGING CONFERENCE 2024.
