In support of the vision of the Association to be THE resource for continuing education within our industry, SCABB supports several scholarships to provide and/or supplement funding for attendance at ENGAGE, the Annual Meeting & Exhibit Show of the Association.
Each year the South Central Association of Blood Banks offers the Sol Haberman Scholarship award based on the submission of an original paper by an SBB student from an accredited school within the South Central region. Papers submitted may include scientific, technical, educational, or case study papers in the areas of transfusion therapy, immunohematology, immunogenetics, transplantation and anthropology, or administrative papers in the areas of cost-control, regulations, quality control and instrumentation. The Sol Haberman Award consists of a $300.00 scholarship check (funded by the general fund), a certificate, a full registration to the annual conference, and a complimentary banquet ticket if the winner attends the Association’s Annual Meeting.
