The funding of these $5000 awards comes from a very generous gift presented to the U of I Foundation in Scot’s name by an anonymous donor. The Scholarship’s Selection Committee, comprised of 7 individuals who knew Scot well, received and reviewed applications from many extremely qualified and deserving students, making the selection process a difficult one. 
 
Scot Heery, RT(R)(CT), was a Senior Imaging Technologist in the Department of Radiology at The University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics (UIHC).  He worked in the department for over 30 years prior to his passing, with expertise in Computed Tomography and dedication to excellence in patient care.
