Lafayette, IN - The Audiology Foundation of America proudly announces the winners of its Outstanding AuD Student Scholarships. Monica Burch and Trisha Ostermeier, third year AuD students at Ball State University and Central Michigan University, respectively, will each receive a $4500 scholarship for the 2003-2004 academic year.
The scholarships were established to recognize and support the "best and brightest" AuD students. In 2004-2005, the AFA will begin awarding two scholarships to second year AuD students in addition to the two scholarships awarded to third year AuD students. The Outstanding AuD Student Scholarships are funded by a grant from the Oticon Foundation, also known as the William Demant and Wife Ida Emilie Foundation.
The scholarship winners will be honored at a luncheon held at their universities. According to AFA Executive Director Susan Paarlberg, "These students represent the future of the audiology profession and the AFA is very pleased to support them in their efforts to earn an AuD degree."
