We’re always in awe of all of the scholarship applicants’ stories, and it’s moving to see their positive spirits, despite the challenges thrown their way in life.
OKLAHOMA CITY (PRWEB)
September 06, 2022
180 Medical, one of America’s leading providers of intermittent catheters and ostomy supplies, is pleased to announce the eight winning recipients of the 180 Medical College Scholarship Program and The 180 Medical Ron Howell Caregiver College Scholarship.
The 180 Medical College Scholarship Program, originally created by founder Todd Brown in 2012, is offered to college students with specific medical conditions including: spinal cord injury, spina bifida, transverse myelitis, neurogenic bladder, and/or an ostomy (ileostomy, urostomy, or colostomy). Since then, 180 Medical has awarded over 60 scholarships to students who’ve experienced challenges and financial burdens that have made paying for college and achieving their goals more difficult.
Todd’s hope in creating the 180 Medical scholarship program was to help eligible students better afford the costs of college so that they might achieve their dreams and “pay it forward” by making a positive impact in the world.
The 180 Medical Ron Howell Caregiver College Scholarship was created in 2020 to honor former 180 Medical President Ron Howell upon his retirement. This scholarship program aims to help college students who are unpaid caregivers to a loved one living with a chronic disability. Because 180 Medical recognizes that these students often face limited financial resources and time, the company created this scholarship program to aid these selfless caregivers in pursuit of their career dreams.
“We’re always in awe of all of the scholarship applicants’ stories, and it’s moving to see their positive spirits, despite the challenges thrown their way in life. So many of them want to use their experiences to go on to help others, and it is an honor to be able to continue our founder Todd Brown’s original vision and help these young students with an education so they can achieve their calling.” – Mark Jassey, Chief Commercial Officer
In 2022, 180 Medical received applications from hopeful students all over the United States, and as always, it was a difficult choice for the committee to begin narrowing down to the final recipients. This year’s finalists have very different backgrounds, and their career goals greatly vary but they all are looking to create a brighter future for themselves and their families.
The seven recipients of the $1,000 180 Medical College Scholarship award are:
o Lily Wright (Gonzaga University)
o Laura Haney (Diablo Valley College)
o Molly Kokoski (Simmons University)
o Hailey Schmidt (Jefferson College)
o Taylor Hofmann (Oklahoma State University)
o Ariana White (University of New Hampshire)
o Isabella Anderson (Savannah College of Art and Design)
The recipient of the $1,000 180 Medical Ron Howell Caregiver Scholarship award is:
o Lydia Rose Taylor (Texas Christian University)
180 Medical would like to thank everyone who applied. Every student who sent in their application were qualified and dedicated to their goals. Congratulations to the 2022 scholarship recipients, and to those who did not receive an award this year, they are encouraged to watch for the announcement for the 2022 scholarship awards and apply again in the future.
