Application Process
 To
open the forms you must first download the FREE Adobe Acrobat Reader. Click on
the icon and that will take you the web page where you can follow simple
instructions to download the free reader.
To apply to the SBB program:
- Complete the AABB application form.
The Application form must be in my hands by the deadline which will be the
first working day in July. The program must have 15
students to meet budget; therefore, application deadline may be extended
until the program is filled.
- Submit a copy of all undergraduate college transcripts and medical technology records (if
applicable). College transcripts do NOT have to be an official copy; a
photocopy is fine.
International students must submit
results of an extended equivalency report from an
approved ASCP
agency (a pdf copy of the ASCP approved agencies for evaluating transcripts
can be found by
clicking here). You
must have a minimum of a Bachelor of Science degree or equivalent (if an
international student).
- Submit THREE professional references (someone who can attest to your
abilities in blood banking)
using the admission
reference form. Please tell your references to use these forms -
they can also write additional information on the back or attach a letter if
they so desire. Please have these references sent to me by regular mail
or fax.
