Research

Professional Development
No matter where you are in your career, the ASE Foundation can support your professional development. The Foundation offers numerous student, sonographer, and fellow travel grants and scholarships to support training and educational conference participation.

Attending the ASE Scientific Sessions was an incredibly enriching experience. I had the opportunity to broaden my knowledge about our field and establish valuable connections with numerous ASE members… Moreover, the Alan D. Waggoner Student Scholarship award played a crucial role in providing the necessary financial support that made it possible for me to fully immerse myself in the ASE event.
