Michael J. Miller Scholarship Program

The AAMI Foundation through its Awards Committee will award scholarships annually to students studying to become biomedical equipment technicians, or health technology-specific engineering, including clinical and health systems engineering. Each of the scholarships are worth $3,000 and are awarded in a one-time, lump-sum check to each scholarship winner at the AAMI Exchange.

Criteria

Applicants must be entering or current full-time college students seeking a career in the healthcare technology profession at a college or university accredited by one of the six regional accrediting agencies or the equivalent. Typical programs would include degrees in biomedical equipment technology, electrical, mechanical, or clinical engineering; and physics or the health sciences.

Applicants must still be considered current students in June 2025 to be eligible for all AAMI Foundation scholarships.
