ALLEN COUNTY, OH (WLIO) - A scholarship aims to strengthen the medical education pipeline in the region.
The John D and Norma L Hubbell Family Scholarship will help the Ohio State University of Lima students that are looking for financial help in their goal of becoming future doctors, dentists, veterinarians, and other health-related professionals. The scholarship was established in 2022 by Susan L Hubbell and family members in order to address the need for financial help for medical students
"Medical students and pre-med students are graduating now with large debts and it's actually preventing some individuals from even thinking about going to medical school, so I think this is important to start them out with some help," said Susan Hubbell, who established the scholarship.
"The goal is that we'd be able to scholarship more, we'd be able to retain more and we could provide what is that educational experience, a broad, high quality one and we could keep them here," commented Tim Rehner, OSU Lima dean and director.
To be eligible for the scholarship, students will have to have graduated from an Allen County School.
