The Heiselt & Lively Scholarship Fund was established to support individuals passionate about advancing in the biomedical and healthcare technology fields. This scholarship provides financial assistance to CMIA members, including students and adults seeking a career change, who are pursuing their education at the College of Biomedical Equipment Technology (CBET).
The fund reflects a commitment to fostering professional growth and supporting the next generation of biomedical equipment technology professionals through accessible, career-focused education.

Administration
A Committee consisting of the 4 members of the CMIA Board of Directors will administer the fund. Awards will be based upon a combined scholarship and need basis. The intention of the Fund is to be especially valuable to those students showing academic promise in the biomed field and the need for financial assistance to pursue study in this field.
Funding
The CMIA at the chapter and Board levels will solicit donations from Corporations, CMIA members, and other interested parties. The Board and Individual chapters will be encouraged to conduct biomedical seminars and contribute a percentage of the funds collected at the seminars and use the Heiselt & Lively Scholarship Fund as part of and in promoting the Seminars or other Contribution Programs. Chapters will also be encouraged to make an annual contribution to the FUND. The FUND will not be allowed to drop below $500.00 at any time. If the scholarship award will reduce the FUND to below $500.00, the CMIA Board of Directors shall decide how to supplement the FUND, or to not award a scholarship that year.
