The value of faculty cannot be overstated. Good connections with your instructors may be a deciding factor in landing your dream job.
ALL FACULTY
AMBUCS offers scholarships to students (U.S. citizens) in their junior or senior year in a bachelor’s degree or a graduate program leading to a master’s or doctoral degree. Students must be accepted in an accredited program by the appropriate health/therapy profession authority in physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech language pathology, or hearing audiology. Assistant programs are not eligible. Awards are based on financial need, commitment to the local community, demonstrated academic accomplishment, character for compassion and integrity, and career objectives.
Interns in this eight-week program participate in research under the guidance of an ETS mentor in a number of areas, including natural language processing, speech technologies, cognitive psychology, learning theory, linguistics, and computational linguistics. Interns are required to give a brief presentation about their project at the conclusion of the internship. The program’s goals include providing research opportunities to individuals enrolled in a doctoral program in the fields described above, and to increase the number of scholars and students from diverse backgrounds—especially traditionally underrepresented groups such as African Americans, Hispanic/Latino Americans, and American Indians—conducting research in educational measurement and related fields.
