Help Provide Scholarships, Grants, and Fellowships

The ASCP Foundation's Scholarship Fund provides financial support to outstanding pathology residents to help them expand their knowledge, skills, and professional network, and it assists clinical laboratory students through scholarships for books and tuition. The Foundation provides grants to Directors of Medical Laboratory programs to support the purchase of education-related materials and other training program resources, and it also provides fellowships to students and pathology residents and fellows to expand their experience and knowledge. One hundred percent of your donations to the ASCP Foundation go to member programs and services. All personnel and administrative costs are made possible with the generous support of ASCP.

ASCP Foundation STEM Student Scholarship

ASCP recognizes the potential of high school students interested in pursuing degrees in the medical sciences with the ASCP Foundation STEM Student Scholarship. In conjunction with the NEXTPO event at the Annual Meeting, young learners become familiar with rewarding careers in the laboratory.

What is the ASCP Foundation STEM Student Scholarship?

The ASCP Foundation STEM Student Scholarship was created to support exemplary students ready to pursue degrees or studies in the medical or life sciences. It encourages young learners to hone their talents in the laboratory by finding a promising career as a pathologist, laboratory professional, scientist or researcher.

The ASCP Foundation annually awards scholarships to high school students invited to attend the NEXTPO event at the ASCP Annual Meeting.

Student Award Eligibility

  • Instructors from partnering NEXTPO schools invite their students who are interested in pursuing a science-based degree to apply for a scholarship.
  • ASCP then awards the STEM Student Scholarship to deserving scholars each year.

If your school is interested in participating in a future NEXTPO event, please email membership@ascp.org.

ASCP Foundation Carter Stephen Ainsworth Health Policy (Virtual) Summer Fellowship

About Carter Stephen Ainsworth

November 2, 1994 to November, 12, 2016

Carter Stephen Ainsworth was from Charleston, South Carolina, and attended Clemson University from 2012-2016 where he received a posthumous Bachelor of Science degree in biology in May 2017. Carter excelled in his field of biology at Clemson and earned a 4.0 in his major putting him on the President’s list. The Clemson University President called Carter “a treasure to Clemson who will be sorely missed.” Carter was an intern for ASCP in Washington, D.C., where he worked on health policy and advocacy. He was excited about continuing his education by attending medical school and had planned to become a physician and continue to help others in health care in the future.

ASCP WPQAA

The WPQAA Scholarship Program

The ASCP WPQAA Program provides much needed funding to medical training institutions and universities to ensure the Medical Laboratory Workforce attracts qualified and properly trained future medical professionals to the field. The Western Pathology Quality Assurance Association (WPQAA) began as a for profit organization of pathologists and laboratory scientists in 1977 under the auspices of the College of American Pathologists. Their most enduring contribution is developing 11 scholarship endowments at 10 institutions across the US. 

In 2016, ASCP took over the administration of these endowments to continue this philanthropic commitment of developing a robust workforce of skilled laboratory professionals.

A Commitment to Future Patient Care

Our nation’s laboratory professionals have a bright future in patient care. At ASCP, we believe there will be countless and diverse job opportunities in the future provided that the field of laboratory medicine continues to evolve and is duly recognized for its vital contributions to patient care. 

The ASCP WPQAA Program’s Mission

While ASCP’s current and on-going initiatives on workforce development have shown measureable success and are well received by both the ASCP membership and the laboratory community at large, periodic evaluation of the workforce landscape and the organization’s activities is essential to fulfill ASCP’s role as a leader in the promotion of patient-centered care and the profession. The ASCP WPQAA Program is committed to ensuring that the nation’s clinical laboratories are adequately staffed with qualified laboratory professionals. 

 

 

Building the Medical Laboratory Workforce

The medical laboratory workforce includes multiple categories of laboratory science practitioners, who have various levels of education and training ranging from on the job training to associate, bachelor, and graduate or professional degrees. For years there has been growing concern among educators and those responsible for recruiting and hiring, that there is a shortage of qualified medical laboratory professionals entering the field. 

The ASCP WPQAA Program addresses this funding gap by providing endowment funding to leading medical training institutions and universities in the West and Midwest, as well as British Columbia and Canada.
