The Executive Committee of the International Society of Audiology (ISA) because of the generosity of the A. Charles Holland Foundation is pleased to be able to offer the second biannual scholarships for undergraduate or graduate students to attend and present a research poster at the XXVIIIth International Congress of Audiology, September 3-7, 2006 in Innsbruck, Austria. This year, $1000 will be awarded to four scholars to help support travel and housing as well as registration.
One of the scholars from the Phoenix Congress, Sharon Cameron from Australia thanked the A Charles Holland Foundation by saying: "It is no exaggeration to say that attending this conference surpassed my greatest expectations in respect to educational experience;international exposure for my work; and the opportunity to meet people from the audiological field that I had only read about in the past. During the conference I heard many delegates comment on the importance of providing such exposure to international students, and your generous sponsorship has certainly contributed to that goal." Sharon has completed her Ph.D. and is employed as a Research Scientist at the National Acoustic Laboratories in the area of pediatric auditory processing disorders.
Applicants for the 2006 scholarships must be full time students in a program leading to a degree in Audiology or Hearing Science or related discipline. An effort will be made to select scholars representing the diverse countries represented in the ISA membership. Winners will be selected by the Scientific Committee of ISA based on the application. The deadline for submission is February 15, 2006 with notification of award by March 15, 2006. For more information and application form please contact Sharon Fujikawa Brooks, Ph.D. at sfujikaw@uci.edu or visit the ISA website at www.isa-audiology.org.
