COMD alumna Sharon G. Webber (1981) and her husband,
Thomas, have built a highly successful company serving
the needs of the field of communication sciences and
disorders. You may have used some of their company’s
products at the Speech and Hearing Center. What is the
name of the company? Super Duper Publications! The
Webbers are paving the way for others who have entered
the profession through an annual scholarship they have
established for master’s level students in Communication
Sciences & Disorders at USC. The scholarship awards the
student $1,000 each semester in the fall and spring of
their final year of graduate school.
“I want the fellowship to help students in financial
need whose hearts have led them to the field of
speech-language pathology. Hopefully, the fellowship
will help relieve some of the financial pressure so
students can concentrate on their studies,” Sharon said
in speaking of their gift.
Students may apply for the scholarship by sending a
letter to Dr. Elaine Frank describing their academic and
clinical achievements, and financial need.
Letters of application (no emails, please) should be
sent to arrive by April 30th of each year to:
Dr. Elaine M. Frank
c/o Karen Mullis
Communication Sciences & Disorders
University of South Carolina
Columbia, SC 29208
