<P class=MsoNormal style="TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in">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.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Its current focus is
on developmental language disorders of children. There is concern about a
shortage of doctoral level professionals interested in pursuing careers in
research and in teaching future Speech-Language Pathologists. One of the
Foundation’s objectives is to increase the number of doctoral level
professionals who will educate future clinicians and who, through research, will
contribute to our understanding of developmental language disorders.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>To accomplish this objective, 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 who intend
to specialize in children’s language disorders.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>All applicants are required to hold the
Certificate of Clinical Competence in Speech/Language Pathology (CCC-SLP) from
the American Speech-Language Hearing Association (or an equivalent certification
from another country}.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>More
information about such scholarships is available on our website <A
href="http://www.bamford-lahey.org/scholarships.html">http://www.bamford-lahey.org/scholarships.html</A>.
Specific information and applications for 2003 scholarships will be on
the website by January of 2003.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Completed applications for next year's awards will be due April
1, 2003.</P>
