Amit Gosalia Scholarship in Private Practice Audiology

The AAA Foundation is excited to announce a new scholarship opportunity for audiology students. Named after Jill Botkin—a 35-year employee of HearUSA who passed away in 2023—this scholarship aims to support and empower future audiologists who are committed to enhancing access to hearing care services, especially in communities that lack geographical access to hearing care. Funds will be awarded to one full-time audiology student who is enrolled in a U.S. university at the time the scholarship is granted. The selected recipient will receive a $5,000 scholarship grant intended for educational support in their AuD program.

A respected university educator, scientist, publisher, and philanthropist, the audiology profession lost a great friend in 2010 with the passing of Dr. Sadanand Singh. Donations from Dr. Singh’s friends, family, and colleagues have enabled the establishment of a scholarship celebrating his dedication to research and the next generation of hearing scientists.
