Lafayette, IN -The Audiology Foundation of America (AFA) is accepting nominations for Outstanding Au.D. Student Scholarships through January 31, 2006. Students, who must be nominated by their program directors, are selected based on academic achievement and professional potential.
Established in 2001, the scholarships are funded by a grant from the Oticon Foundation, also known as the William Demant and Wife Ida Emilie Foundation. The scholarships will be awarded to two second-year and two third-year Au.D. students in 2006. Each will receive $4,500.
"The AFA is very happy to be able to offer the Outstanding Au.D. Student Scholarships again in 2006. The caliber of students who have received the scholarships in the past has been exceptional. We are very pleased to support the education of four more future Doctors of Audiology," said AFA Executive Director Susan Paarlberg.
In addition, the AFA is also offering the Leo Doerfler Memorial Scholarship, which provides funds for an individual with an Au.D. degree who is enrolled in a Ph.D. program. One $5,000 scholarship will be available for 2006-2007. This scholarship is made possible through memorial gifts given to the AFA in honor of Dr. Leo Doerfler. Dr. Doerfler was the second person to receive a Ph.D. in audiology, and was a founding member of the AFA, as well as the Academy of Dispensing Audiologists (ADA).
