The American College of Radiology Center for Research and Innovation™ Scholarship, aims to improve equity and access to higher education for Philadelphia, PA residents through scholarship awards.

This experience will be invaluable in helping students refine their career paths as they move through their post-secondary education. We strive to create meaningful community impact and opportunity through scholarships and internships that will champion future professionals in healthcare and other STEM-related fields.
