Sonography Student Scholarship

The Ultrasound Schools Info sonography student scholarship is a national, annual, non-renewable $1,000 scholarship awarded to an aspiring sonographer currently enrolled in a CAAHEP accredited diagnostic medical sonography program, or a high school student who has been accepted to a program.

We believe that sonographers are an important part of the allied health team, and choose to recognize the hard work required to be successful by offering a scholarship to a deserving DMS student each year.

The winning applicant must provide proof of attendance or acceptance from a CAAHEP accredited sonography program.

The winner of the 2025 Sonography Student Scholarship is Katrina Valente from Mount Aloysius College!

“I am incredibly proud of Katrina Valente for receiving this recognition-what a wonderful honor! Katrina demonstrates quiet determination and genuine compassion in everything she does, both inside and outside the classroom.

At Mount Aloysius College, faculty and staff work diligently to prepare our students not only with strong academic and clinical training but also through the Sisters of Mercy’s values of justice, service, hospitality, and mercy. Katrina truly embodies these values, and it is evident that her heart is in this work.

I am excited to see the significant impact she will make in the field of ultrasonography, and am grateful that others recognize her hard work. Great job, Katrina!”
