These extra funds will be incredibly helpful during the coming year as I relocate to a new city and learn a new career. You have changed my life as well as countless others. I hope to touch others with my health care expertise and prove that the generosity you have shown is the gift that keeps giving.

Michelle Walters

Recipient, Varian Proton Medical Dosimetry Scholarship

With you all helping pay for my radiation therapy degree, I will not have to pay any out-of-pocket expenses for my summer semester, which is the semester I was worrying about the most as far as finances go. I lost my father this past spring, so it was hard for me to find the motivation to work all summer in order to save for my tuition.

Recipient, Elekta Radiation Therapy Scholarship

With your generous donation, I will be able to explore not only who I am as a sonographer in my career, but also who I am as a person. I believe that every good deed should be paid forward; that is why I plan to use the funds from this scholarship to excel in my program, and hopefully become the person that younger generations can look to for a role model.

During the pandemic life was filled with so much uncertainty that foundations like ASRT and all the donations of all these amazing foundations give us hope and a ray of light during these dark times for many of us. I can’t put into words as to how grateful I am for this gift that will help me continue one of my life goals. Thank you very much and God Bless You All!

I am very honored and enthusiastic to have received the Jerman-Cahoon Student Scholarship. I am profoundly grateful for your generosity in gifting me this scholarship to pursue my education in radiologic technology.

Valerie Wanke, Student

Scholarship Recipient

While technical skills associated with patient care, anatomy and physiology are essential to the radiologic technology profession, the emotional demands contributing to attrition and burnout should not be overlooked. Recent events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and workforce shortages, challenge education programs to consider how to best prepare students for a future health care career. The generous support from the ASRT Foundation has provided me with an opportunity to explore emotional intelligence in radiology students. This research can help develop collaborative interventions to better prepare graduates to join the workforce and strengthen the radiologic technology profession.

Research Grant Recipient

Thank you so much for donating to the COVID-19 Emergency Relief Fund. And thank you to ASRT for choosing me as a recipient. Toward the end of March 2020, I was laid off from my job due to COVID. With this award I was able to pay some bills until my unemployment kicked in. It grounded me during an uncertain, stressful time and I am forever grateful. Your kindness and generosity have helped so many in our community.
