To be eligible for the 2023 Audiology Student Scholarship, applicants must be current college students planning to pursue full-time undergraduate studies in audiology or students in an audiology degree.

Applicants must have an average of 3 points out of 4, as a minimum. Scholarship recipients must be enrolled in a full-time degree of study in audiology at an authorized college in the United States.
