Shari Hall Scholarship


         

In 1993, the Rio Grande Valley District Association for Clinical Laboratory Science (District XVI) established the Shari Hall Scholarship Fund.  This fund is named for Shari Hall, MA, MT(ASCP).  Shari was a long time member of ASCLS and TACLS and was very active in District Activities.  She was a dedicated Professional who devoted her professional life to students interested in careers in the clinical laboratory.  She was a faculty member with the MLT Program at Texas Southmost College (now the University of Texas-Brownsville/Texas Southmost College) from 1984-1988 and a faculty member with the CLS Program at the University of Texas-Pan American from 1983-1984 and Program Director with the same program from 1988-1990.  She was a role model to her students as well as to her co-workers.  Shari was a victim of breast cancer and passed away in 1993, but left a legacy of compassion, caring and dedication to her profession.

 Prior to 1993, the district had awarded scholarships to local students, but in 1993, a permanent scholarship fund was established to honor Shari Hall.   Since that time, the district has held a variety of fundraising activities.  For the last six years, the Rio Grande Valley District Association for Clinical Laboratory Science has sponsored a golf tournament.  These activities have allowed the District to award one $500 scholarship to a CLT student and one $500 scholarship to a local CLS student every year.
