There are scholarships specifically designed for students who are pursuing a degree in radiology and related fields. Here are a few for you to consider:
1. American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT) Scholarships: This organization offers multiple scholarships per academic year for both undergraduates and graduate students who are ASRT members.
2. ARRT Scholarships: The American Registry of Radiologic Technologists offers scholarships annually to individuals pursuing a primary pathway certification in radiography, nuclear medicine technology, radiation therapy, magnetic resonance imaging, sonography, and computed tomography.

4. Siemens Clinical Advancement Scholarship: Provided by the ASRT Foundation and Siemens Healthineers, it offers scholarships each year for radiologic technologists continuing their education or pursuing an additional certification.
Start your search with these, and don't forget to also check with your intended college’s financial aid office for school-specific options. Additionally, some hospitals and healthcare employers may offer scholarship programs, especially those that might be keen to attract future employees in the field of radiology.
