Fondation Groupe Forget gives two $1,500 scholarships to audiology students

For a second year, the Fondation Groupe Forget is proud to announce the awarding of two scholarships of $1,500 to students in Audiology.

Congratulations to our 2 winners, Mr. Antonio Sam Pierre from the Université de Montréal and Ms. Béatrice Guay from Université Laval.

Launched in the fall of 2019, the scholarship program was created to encourage post-secondary studies in audioprosthetics and audiology and to highlight deserving students, based both on the quality of their academic record and their motivation to practice in this field.

Scholarship program for students in audiology

The Fondation Groupe Forget is proud to have created a scholarship program to provide financial aid to students in the field of audiology, making it easier for them to acquire this specialized knowledge.

For each of the recipients, a paid summer job will also be offered in one of the clinics of our partner, Polyclinique de l’Oreille, in order to have the opportunity to become familiar with the profession of audiology.

In addition to the two scholarships offered for audiology students, three other scholarships were awarded to students in audioprosthetics from Collège Rosemont and Cégep de La Pocatière.
