Meet Our 2024 Summer Scholars Recipients!
Thanks to your generosity, we’ve just announced our third cohort of Summer Scholars. That’s the third wave of medical students pursuing unpaid internships that you and your colleagues have helped support by contributing to this initiative.
One medical student from each of Ohio’s 7 medical schools has been chosen to receive this award. Since 2022, $52,500 has been awarded to 21 medical students with unpaid internships, to assist with summer expenses when financial aid is not available.
