  • Student With a Disability—one scholarship gives priority to a student with a disability, supported by the Leslie Londer Fund, and general contributions.

  • Minority Student—one scholarship, supported by the Minority Fund and general contributions to the annual fund, gives priority to a student with U.S. citizenship who is a member of a racial or ethnic minority group.

  • International Student—one scholarship, supported by the Kala Singh Memorial Fund and general contributions, gives priority to an international student studying in the United States.

Potential applicants must meet eligibility criteria and submit an official application packet. Students must be accepted or enrolled in full-time graduate study in a CSD program in the United States, and may not have received prior ASHFoundation funding. Scholarships are to be used for educational support (e.g., tuition, books, school living expenses) and not for personal or conference travel.
Scholarship submission materials are available on the ASHFoundation website or by calling 800-498-2071, ext. 8703.
