Support SASS Programs
Students often bear significant extra costs associated with a clinical education. For some students, these costs include travel and lodging costs during a placement outside the Lower Mainland. For all students, costs include travel costs associated with visiting local clinical facilities for observations and externships. You can help and encourage our students by donating to one of the following:
- SASS Externship Support Fund: This fund was established to help students in audiology and speech-language pathology meet some of the expenses involved in undertaking their clinical externships around the Province.
- Bike Aksu SLP Externship Award: This award was established by Judith Johnston to celebrate good teaching and to commemorate her ten years as Director of the School. The award is used to support SLP students in clinical placements.
- Margaret Elaine Clemons Award: This award was established by the BCASLPA SLP Private Practice Group in honour of Margaret Elaine Clemons. Mrs. Clemons was one of the first speech-language pathologists in Vancouver. She set an outstanding example for all her colleagues through her theoretical knowledge, her clinical expertise, her empathy for her clients, and her encouragement and support of others in her field. This is awarded annually to students who demonstrate both academic and clinical excellence.
- Audiology and Speech Sciences Trust Fund: Donations are used to support Entrance Scholarships to students entering the program.
Cheques can be made payable to the Award Name. All donations are income tax deductible.
