Please note that Atlantic General Hospital will not be opening the radiology technologist scholarship to new applications for the 2012 school year. Students currently enrolled will continue with the program. However, we were unable to place this year's graduates in employment to meet the terms of their scholarships because no open positions were available. Therefore, we will not be able to take on additional scholars. We plan to offer this scholarship again in the future.
