Give today to support more OHIO doctors

Your participation in the HCOM Class Scholarship Challenge – with all gifts, from all classes supporting the Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine General Scholarship Fund – can help alleviate the burden of significant debt as OHIO's young medical professionals begin their careers. Every gift to the scholarship fund also helps to enable exceptional educational experiences that will equip future physicians to address the most pervasive needs in healthcare.

“Your philanthropic gifts to the scholarship fund strengthens the Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine, and its ability to attract and train outstanding physicians, while offsetting the rising costs of medical education for future alumni.” —Jared Storck, D.O., VP of the HCOM Society of Alumni and Friends, and Chair of the HCOM Class Scholarship Challenge

Please consider joining in the fun as we raise support for the next generation of osteopathic physicians. Give today to support your class in the HCOM Class Scholarship Challenge and provide direct scholarship support to students! We want the Class of 2018 to bring in the most scholarship dollars! In July 2022, following the end of OHIO's fiscal year, we will recognize the Heritage College classes that have raised the most funds and comprise the greatest number of donors.

Just as you did, current students will begin their medical practice with a commitment to service and delivering the finest health care in Ohio, and beyond. Thank you for your supporting them in this journey.

Our future osteopathic physicians stand on the shoulders of those who came before them

Your actions now will make the HCOM Class Scholarship Challenge goal of $30,000 quickly attainable. Here are four ways alumni can support a bright future for our future doctors:

• Make a gift here, in support of the Class Scholarship Challenge and the HCOM Class of 2018 crowdfunding campaign.
• Mail a check (payable to The Ohio University Foundation) to The Ohio University Foundation, PO Box 869, Athens, OH 45701; be sure to write OUHCOM General Scholarship Fund on the memo line.
• Talk with Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine Senior Director of Philanthropy, Lowell H. Lustig, at lustig@ohio.edu, about a gift to support HCOM students.
• If you would like more information on how you can make a gift to the Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine through a bequest or other charitable gift vehicles, please also contact Lowell H. Lustig.
