About This Scholarship
The SDMS Foundation, the charitable arm of the Society of Diagnostic Medical Sonography, gives $2,500 scholarships to students in accredited ultrasound and cardiovascular technology programs. Two scholarships are awarded each year, and the money can go toward tuition, books or school fees.
The foundation runs two application windows. The December 31 deadline covers educational costs from January 1 through June 30, and a June 30 deadline covers July through December. Students must be accepted to or enrolled in a CAAHEP-accredited program in the United States and stay enrolled for at least 90 days after the window closes.
