Scholarships

There are several opportunities for AST members to seek assistance when pursuing their surgical technology education in CAAHEP-accredited surgical technology programs or for current surgical technologists who are pursuing advanced education related to the profession or who are participating in medical missionary work.

Please read the application instructions carefully, and return the application to the appropriate address with all the requested materials. Each year, qualified candidates – students, as well as practitioners – are disqualified from consideration, because they have not submitted all the requested materials or have not answered all the questions on the application.
