Supporting the Future of the Field
The AAMI Foundation has two primary scholarship programs: The Michael J. Miller Scholarship Program and the Kilmer Fund.
At a time of when technology is changing rapidly and the workforce is aging, these scholarship programs are vitally important to ensure that healthcare technology continues to be both safe and effective in the future.
The Michael J. Miller Scholarship
Every year, the AAMI Foundation awards the Michael J. Miller Scholarship to students aspiring to become biomedical equipment technicians, clinical engineers, and health systems engineers. These scholarships expand access to students who have demonstrated academic excellence, technical aptitude, and a commitment to healthcare technology and patient safety.
