Impact in Action
HRS student Halle Hamilton discovered her passion for health sciences after arriving at Ohio State unsure of her path. Coming from a small rural town, she embraced the big opportunities at HRS—research courses, serving as a University Ambassador and shadowing a pediatric occupational therapist. The HRS Alumni Scholarship eased her financial burden, allowing her to focus on these experiences and pursue her dream of earning a doctorate in occupational therapy.
“I am incredibly honored and grateful to be a recipient of the HRS Alumni Scholarship,” Halle shares. “My dream is to pursue my doctorate in occupational therapy right here at Ohio State, and this scholarship helps make that possible.”
