ACDIS update: ACDIS CDI Scholarship applications close this weekend!

If you haven’t heard yet, the 2024/2025 application period for the annual CDI Scholarship Program is currently open—but just for a couple more days! The scholarship application will close at the end of day Sunday, November 17. If you are a CDI professional in need of assistance to access premier CDI education and have a passion to learn and share with others, we encourage you to apply! Or if you might know others in your circle who could benefit, feel free to share the news with your department, your networking group, and your CDI friends to spread awareness.

We also wanted to highlight a little more information about the third of the four scholarships offered this year! Our third award, the Outpatient CDI or Physician Advisor Scholarship, grants the recipient registration to either the ACDIS Symposium: Outpatient CDI or Physician Advisor Forum. This scholarship is a great opportunity for CDI professionals who are either 1) looking to improve their department’s efforts with providers and/or physician advisor, or 2) looking to improve or start expanding CDI into outpatient settings.

Applicants must be active in the CDI field, working in the profession. They must be able to demonstrate that fact with a note from their manager or supervisor verifying employment (including the organization name and dates of employment), as well as attach a letter of recommendation in the application.

And don’t forget about our other scholarship opportunities:

• Introduction to CDI Scholarship: A one-year ACDIS membership + enrollment in the ACDIS CDI Apprenticeship program
• Professional Development Scholarship: Registration to an online CDI Boot Camp of the recipient's choice
• Melissa Varnavas Scholarship: Registration to the ACDIS national conference

The application for these scholarships is available on our website under the “Free Resources” tab in the “ACDIS Scholarship Program” section (or simply click here). This section also contains more information about the program’s eligibility requirements, review process, and a preview of the application questions.

We hope to see your application!
