Scholarships can help offset the cost of radiography school tuition.
Radiography training and educational programs lead to a certificate, associates or bachelor's degrees in radiologic sciences. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects job growth in radiography careers to increase about 17 percent from 2008 to 2018, faster than average job growth, making it an excellent career path to pursue.
