Lambda Nu Awards Ray Winters Scholarship
JONESBORO – Arkansas State University senior Kamille Evans of Jonesboro is the 2022 winner of the Ray Winters Scholarship. This scholarship is given each year to one student for achievement and high honors.
Evans is a senior in the cardiovascular interventional program in the Department of Medical Imaging and Radiation Sciences.
This scholarship was developed following the retirement of Ray Winters who led medical imaging and radiation sciences at A-State. It is awarded to the applicant that has achieved the most scholarship points.
"Points are awarded on the basis of GPA, program director recommendation and three questions developed by the Lambda Nu board of directors answered by each applicant. Scholarship applications are blind reviewed by the five members of the Lambda Nu board of directors plus the executive secretary and executive director,” said Donna Caldwell, associate professor of medical imaging and radiation services and coordinator of the cardiovascular interventional program.
Since 2010 nearly $180,000 has been awarded through 357 scholarships nationwide. Caldwell said about 15 scholarships are given annually.
“Lambda Nu is the only national honor society for medical imaging and radiation sciences in the United States. It was actually founded and developed at Arkansas State University,” said Caldwell.
Caldwell said there are now 241 chapters of Lambda Nu in 46 states.
