Radiologic Technologist Scholarships

Future radiologic technologists have access to scholarships to go to school for radiology.


Radiology educational and training programs lead aspiring radiologic technologists to receive a radiologic sciences certificate, associate's degree or bachelor's degree. The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates an increase of 17 percent in job growth in radiology careers from the year 2008 to 2018. The increase in job growth is higher than average and this makes the radiologic technology field an exciting career path to pursue.
