“Dear Supporters of the AMA Ohio Honor Fund Scholarship,
I am extremely grateful for your contributions to the AMA Foundation scholarship I was awarded this year. I cannot express how surprised and excited I was to receive the announcement informing me of my selection for the scholarship. I literally jumped for joy and immediately shared the news with my friends and family. A medical school scholarship of this size is hard to come by and being selected for it is an honor.
This scholarship means a tremendous amount to myself and my family. I come from modest backgrounds and have supported myself through college and medical school independently. In addition, my partner is a medical student with a similar background. Together, we have amassed an uncomfortable level of student debt and are consistently looking for ways to reduce our financial load. This is compounded by the fact that we have two beautiful, happy children, for whom we have additional childcare expenses. This scholarship is a huge relief to our family and receiving it has resulted in a tremendous burden being lightened. We cannot thank you enough.
With gratitude,
Austin Oslock

“Thank you for the honor of being named an Ohio physician of tomorrow. Thank you for easing the burden of student debt for this nontraditional medical student dedicated to the pursuits of advocacy, policy, and research. Thank you for investing in the future of medicine and public health. Thank you for timing the announcement of this award to coincide with a family video call celebrating my father’s 75th birthday so our collective spirits could be lifted even higher during these difficult times. Thank you for investing in the future of American medicine and public health.
Yours in gratitude,
