Additionally, 30 individuals were named recipients of Paul Cole
scholarships, each providing $1,000 to students enrolled in associate,
baccalaureate or certificate programs in nuclear medicine technology.
These scholarships are based on financial need, statements of goals,

academic performance and program director recommendations. Funded by the
Education and Research Foundation for SNM, the Paul Cole scholarship was
established in memory of Paul Cole, a champion of student education who
died in 1986 while serving as SNMTS president. SNM's Central Chapter
funded two of these 2007 scholarships.
