The 66 applicants who submitted a scholarship application spanned the range of clinicians and scientists that comprise the ACI Alliance community. The 22 applicants chosen for this prestigious award represent a diverse field of individuals from 19 different institutions of higher learning across the country enrolled in audiology programs, Ph.D. programs in deaf education and linguistics, medical programs and post-doctoral candidates.
