The ASH Scholar Awards program is one of the top priorities of the Society, and the ASH Executive Committee is most grateful to those companies who are supporters of this program.

The Society holds an annual competition for the Scholar Awards. The program is designed to support hematologists who have chosen a career in research by providing partial salary or other support during that critical period required for completion of training and achievement of status as an independent investigator.

The awards are made possible through grants from the corporate community, individual ASH members, foundations, and operating funds committed by the Society. The awards are for two years at $50,000 for fellows per year and $75,000 for junior faculty per year. The Society requests a minimum contribution of $10,000, and encourages companies to give a full $50,000 to support the equivalent of one award for one year.

As the Society's top priority, the priority point system weighs heavily in favor of supporting the scholars program. If your company is interested in increasing their priority point standing quickly, supporting this program is the best way to do so.

Corporations interested in supporting the ASH Scholar Awards program should contact ASH’s Development Department.
