Jimmy A. Young Memorial Education Recognition Award

Description

The American Respiratory Care Foundation will be awarded in memory of Jimmy A. Young, past president of the AARC, who personally contributed greatly to respiratory care education. The foundation prefers that nominations be made by a representative of the school or an accredited respiratory training program, however, any student may initiate a request for sponsorship in order that a deserving candidate is not denied the opportunity to compete simply because the school does not initiate the application. Preference will be given to nominees of minority origin. This award consists of a certificate of recognition, coach airfare, one night's lodging, and registration for AARC Congress. An original referenced paper on some aspect of respiratory care is required. The paper should include a cover page giving only the title of the paper. Applicants must also provide letters of recommendation from the program director or other senior faculty member and from the medical director or other physician instructor attesting to: a) approval of candidate's paper, b) candidate's worthiness for the award, and c) candidate's potential for a career in the profession of respiratory care. Previous undergraduate award recipients are eligible to reapply. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the American Respiratory Care Foundation for more information.
