LANHAM, MD, May 23, 2008 – Recently a panel of five SVU Fellows
reviewed 10 student applications, essays, and related materials to
select the recipient of the 2008 SVU Anne Jones Scholarship for the
fall 2008 educational semester/quarter. Based on the judges’
combined scores, the student selected for the 2008 educational scholarship
is Stephanie A. Stupfel, a junior vascular technology
student at Oregon Institute of Technology (OIT) in Klamath Falls,
OR.
The Anne Jones Scholarship Fund of the Society for Vascular Ultrasound (SVU) was established in 2005 to provide an annual educational scholarship for a vascular ultrasound student of up to $2,500. First presented in June 2006, the annual scholarship honors the many contributions made to SVU and the vascular technology profession by Anne Jones, former SVU President (1985-1986) and former Chair of SVU's Government Relations Committee for several years.
The purpose of the Anne Jones Scholarship is to provide a qualified ultrasound student applicant with a monetary amount to further his/her education in vascular ultrasound and pursue a career in the vascular ultrasound profession.
Participating students are judged on their submitted Anne Jones Scholarship application detailing their educational background, school activities and work experience, their 500 word essay on their career goal and financial need, their official school transcript showing their grade point average in an ultrasound school, and two letters of recommendation.
Stephanie will be doing her year-long senior externship at the University of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore, MD. After graduation from OIT in June 2009 she hopes to work as a vascular technologist in a hospital or clinic in her hometown of Salem, OR.
