Osborn Scholarship

Royce R. Osborn, FAHRA, was a generous leader and World War II veteran who overcame racial prejudice to become a respected figure in radiology management. As one of the first radiologic technologists to transition into the role of radiology administrator in the 1970s, he was deeply committed to ensuring others had access to the management education needed to succeed.

Osborn was a charter member who helped shape AHRA and, in 1984, became the second recipient of the association’s highest honor, the Gold Award.

The AHRA Education Foundation established the Royce and Paula Osborn Scholarship to honor the lifelong commitment Royce and his wife, Paula, made to education and helping others.

Awarded annually, the Osborn Scholarships provide opportunities for individuals to attend the AHRA Annual Meeting or AHRA’s Spring Conference, CLIMB.

In recognition of medical imaging professionals who have served or are currently serving in the United States military, the AHRA Education Foundation Board of Directors approved funding for two additional Osborn Scholarship opportunities dedicated specifically to military service members.
