The Accreditation Review Council on Education in Surgical Technology and Surgical Assisting (ARC/STSA) is pleased to announce the launch of our 2012 Scholarship Program in service to the surgical technology and surgical assisting student and educator communities.

Annually since 2005, the ARC/STSA Board of Directors awards multiple scholarships of up to $1000 in at least two separate categories. In 2011, the ARC/STSA awarded $3000 in scholarships to 4 students and 1 educator.
