NSCLS Scholarships

2009 NSCLS Scholarships: The NSCLS scholarship committee was pleased to present two scholarships this year. Among the criteria that we consider are academics, letters of recommendation and an essay the applicants submit about a medical technologist they admire. Reading these essays is inspirational. There are many fine role models working in Clinical Laboratory Science today.

The two scholarship recipients this year are
Deborah Watts and Becky Schainost.
Congratulations to Deborah & Becky and Best Wishes to all CLS students in Nebraska!
