Health care grants are the first option you should look into if you are dreaming of becoming a sonographer or ultrasound technician. Whether you want to become a nurse, doctor, assistant or technician, there are a variety of grants available in the health care field. Some are from the federal government, and some are from other sources.

Scholarships are one of the best ways to help pay for your studies at a college or trade school, but they are also the hardest to get. You may qualify for the Scholarships for Disadvantaged Students Program, which is available to low-income students and is set up by the United States Department of Health and Human Services. Or, if you agree to work in an underserved area, you might qualify for scholarships from the National Health Service Corps. There are numerous scholarships for Native Americans and other minority groups. Private scholarships are available from organizations, clubs, foundations, companies and other institutions, as well as from the schools themselves. Many scholarships are available that reward academic excellence if you have completed at least a semester of school with a high GPA.

There are funding opportunities available for sonography and ultrasound students who volunteer at Veterans Affairs medical centers as well. Need-based grants awarded based on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) may also be available to you. And, if none of these options work out for you, there are always student loans from the state and federal government, which have low interest rates and can be paid back over very long periods of time with convenient consolidation programs. There are many programs to help you pay for the necessary schooling, so you can get a degree and begin working in these exciting radiological careers.
