We all remember our student days well--cutting corners, eating sparsely, living cheaply. To a student, an offer of financial help is a great opportunity that often opens doors.
That's why we're proud to announce that there is a scholarship of $1200 available--thanks to the generosity of Dr. Ralph Thomas, who donated several rare books toward the cause--for a student in accelerator health physics. The scholarship will allow a student to attend the 2008 Health Physics Society (HPS) Professional Development School on "Topics in Accelerator Health Physics" from January 31--February 2 in Oakland, California. While the scholarship won't cover all expenses, it will pay the $850 tuition fee (or $920 for non-HPS members) and help with the hotel bill or airfare.
Applications for the scholarship are available on-line, as are instructions for completing the form. All applications will be reviewed by a committee and the most qualified student will be chosen to receive the funds.
Do you know of a student who could use a helping hand and benefit from attending the 2008 school? Pass the word so he or she can take advantage of this great opportunity. Hurry, though, because the deadline for submitting scholarship applications is November 1, 2007. Don't miss the chance to open doors for the next generation of accelerator health physicists!
