Labs are Vital Scholarship (Visit this link)

I thought you might be interested in hearing about a new Facebook page and scholarship contest for students interested in pursuing a career in clinical lab science. The Facebook page and contest are part of the Labs Are Vital™ program, which is dedicated to increasing awareness of the life-saving role lab professionals play in our lives and recruiting the next generation of lab professionals. Students can compete to win a scholarship valued at up to $2,500 by submitting a video, advertisement, or T-shirt design that encourages others to consider careers in laboratory medicine. Recruiting students into the profession is a top priority – the American Society for Clinical Pathology estimates there currently may be as many as 40,000 unfilled clinical laboratory jobs in the United States. Labs Are Vital is sponsored by Abbott and joined by Clinical Laboratory Management Association (CLMA), American Society for Clinical Laboratory Science (ASCLS), American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP), American Medical Technologists (AMT), American Association of Bioanalysts (AAB), American Association for Clinical Chemistry (AACC), Association of Public Health Laboratories (APHL), and AABB. The deadline for contest participants to submit an entry is March 7.

Approximate value: $ 2500
