 BAMFORD-LAHEY SCHOLARS FOR 2005-2006


The Bamford-Lahey Children's Foundation was established for the purpose of conducting and supporting programs that will enhance the linguistic, cognitive, social, and emotional development of children and  has a current focus is on developmental language disorders of children. Because of general concern about the shortage of doctoral level professionals interested in this area, the Foundation developed a scholarship program offering funds of up to $10,000 a year to students who have been accepted into a doctoral program and specialize in children's language disorders.  To date the Foundation has awarded 24 Bamford-Lahey Scholarships.


We are very proud to announce the Bamford-Lahey Scholars for 2005-2006.  Based on review of applications by professionals in the field, three applicants were selected from a pool of highly qualified applicants.  A picture of each along with a short professional biography is available on our website at http://bamford-lahey.org/scholars.html.  The winners, presented alphabetically, are:   


Lizbeth (Liza) Finestack, University of Kansas
