UC alumna Judith Marlowe, PhD, who has spent her career focusing on pediatric audiology, has established this fund in 2017 with matching funds from UC Health.  Recipients must be enrolled in the Audiology or PhD programs in the Department of Communication Sciences & Disorders and have expressed intention to provide clinical services in pediatric audiology with a focus on early hearing identification and intervention (birth to three years).  Recipient(s) must have a diverse background, based upon factors including, but not limited to, socio-economic status (family income, wealth, etc.), parental education, cultural awareness, and history of overcoming diversity.  Preference will be given to students who will be applying for a post-doc fellowship in the field.  If there are no eligible candidates in the Audiology or PhD programs, disbursement may be deferred for one year.  Alternately, in the absence of eligible audiology candidates, students in the MA CSD (speech-language pathology) or PhD programs who have the same expressed intention to provide early interventions services (birth to age 3) specifically for children with hearing impairment may be considered. Faculty in the department will recommend eligible students in their 3^rd and 4^th year of the program. Recommended students will be invited to submit an essay describing their interest and objectives in becoming a pediatric audiologist and their professional development plan. A committee will then choose the recipient and notify them at the end of spring semester.
