Description

The American Speech-Language-Hearing Foundation invites students who will be or who are currently enrolled in a communication sciences and disorders graduate program to apply for graduate scholarships. Up to three graduate student scholarships, funded by the Minority Fund, will be awarded to students who are members of a racial or ethnic minority group. The applicant must be accepted for, or enrolled in, graduate study in a communication sciences and disorders program in the United States. Clinical doctoral programs in audiology or master's programs in speech-language pathology must be accredited by, or in candidacy status from, the Council on Academic Accreditation in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology; this does not apply to research doctoral programs. Applicants must submit a Letter of Application, describing their goals after completing their academic program and explaining why they chose these goals. Three confidential letters of recommendation must also be submitted on behalf of the applicant. The letters can be from a combination of academic faculty and work references, depending on the applicant's specific situation. The recommendation letters should rate the applicant's academic promise (average, above average, excellent, or superior); cite specific examples that demonstrate academic achievement; note the applicant's personal qualities and capacities necessary for a successful career in audiology and/or speech-language pathology; and cite specific examples that show initiative, responsibility, motivation, or commitment to the discipline. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
