Scholarships

Most scholarships are available for those working in general histology however the program does offer some specialized scholarships for those working in niche areas of the science. The money can be used for tuition, event registration fees, books and more. Money is awarded on a reimbursement basis. Winners have two years to utilize the awarded funds.
