“Scholarships have enabled me to complete my undergraduate and graduate education without worrying how I’m going to pay from semester to semester. They’ve allowed me to joyfully pursue my chosen academic endeavors and solidify my passion for serving others in the health care space. I’m committed to being a worthwhile investment as I continue to serve other students and my community.”

“I am incredibly thankful to have received these funds to support me in my journey to receive my BS in public health with an environmental specialization. Attending any university, let alone one with a reputation like Ohio State’s, was not something I could be certain was financially attainable for me. As I continue my education, these concerns have all but subsided, so scholarships like these make an immense difference. I am incredibly excited to begin my field research in Ecuador. My research abroad involves assessing household water access and use in the Choco region of Ecuador to understand the experiences of the communities as it relates to the water in their homes.”
