Full-time students and residents from any country are eligible, but priority will be given to those early in their careers and to those who are members of the Aerospace Medical Association (AsMA) and the Aerospace Medical Association Student and Resident Organization (AMSRO). (Deadline - January 31 annually)
- AsMA Fellows Scholarship: One of the stated purposes of the AsMA Foundation is "To provide scholarships for the purpose of underwriting, in whole or in part, the cost of registration fees, transportation, a meal per diem, or any other valid fees or expenses incurred by eligible students or residents in relation to their attendance at one or more scholarly meetings on topics related to aerospace medicine". The AsMA Foundation delegated to the AsMA Fellows Group the task to develop and administer a scholarship program to accomplish the previously stated purpose. Therefore, the AsMA Fellows Scholarship Committee (AsMA-FSC) was formed to establish the "AsMA Fellows Scholarship". The amount of this scholarship is currently set at $2,000 U.S. for the 1st Place and $1,000 for the 2nd Place and it is given annually to an AsMA member who is a student in an aerospace medicine residency program, graduate program in aerospace medicine (Masters or Ph.D.), medical certificate or aerospace diploma course, or in a full time education/training program in the allied fields of nursing, physiology, human factors, psychology, ergonomics, engineering, etc. Selection criteria include delivering a slide or poster presentation as a first author at the AsMA Annual Scientific Meeting and then publishing a manuscript as first author in Aerospace Medicine and Human Performance (AMHP) based on the same topic and/or material covered in the slide or poster presentation. The scholarship winner is selected among all the qualified applicants based on the highest scientific value, originality, quality and relevance of his/her AsMA presentation and AMHP manuscript related to the field of aerospace medicine (including allied scientific disciplines) as determined by the AsMA-FSC. Special consideration is given to those applicants who are at an early stage in their career development. The scholarship must be used for the purpose of underwriting, in whole or in part, the cost of registration fees, transportation, hotel accommodations, or any other valid fees or expenses incurred by the winner in relation to his/her attendance at one or more scholarly meetings on topics related to aerospace medicine.

UHMS STEM Scholarship
SPONSORS
The UHMS STEM Scholarship provides individuals with registration-free admittance to the UHMS Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM).
STEM scholarships are awarded to students in a degree-granting program in science, technology, engineering, or math.
Candidates must complete an application and a 300-word essay. Additional eligibility criteria are outlined in the flier below. At the conclusion of the meeting, candidates are required to complete an exit interview and a survey on their experience.
STEM scholars can expect to shadow top scientists and physicians in academia and medicine, complete projects and summaries.
- Participants can expect to increase their knowledge of how humans perform in undersea environments utilizing various gas mixtures and the risks associated with operating in extreme environments.
- Participants will also increase their knowledge of clinical hyperbaric medicine and how increased pressures and oxygen can improve patient outcomes in certain disease states, conditions, and traumatic injuries.
DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS: MARCH 2, 2025: 5 PM ET
Sponsorship Opportunity
The UHMS is looking to academia and industry to help support the UHMS STEM Scholarship, including sponsoring the STEM Career Breakfast.
Who we are
The Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society (UHMS) was formed in 1967. It is an international non-profit association serving 2,000 physicians, scientists, associates, and nurses from more than 67 countries in hyperbaric and dive medicine.
The UHMS is an essential source of scientific and medical information about undersea and hyperbaric medicine through its quarterly peer-reviewed journal, Undersea and Hyperbaric Medicine, as well as symposia, courses, certifications, workshops, and publications.It organizes an annual scientific meeting at different U.S. and international sites to permit review of the latest in research and treatment and to promote the highest standards of practice.
The primary goal of the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society’s (UHMS) Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM) each year is to provide a forum for exchanging ideas and scientific knowledge related to increased pressures on human physiology.
Participants can expect to increase their knowledge of how humans perform in undersea environments utilizing various gas mixtures and the risks associated with operating in extreme environments.Participants will also increase their knowledge of clinical hyperbaric medicine and how increased pressures and oxygen can improve patient outcomes in certain disease states, conditions, and traumatic injuries.
