Ohio Scholars in Aging Program
The Ohio Department of Aging partners with the Ohio Association of Gerontology and Education to offer the Ohio Scholars in Aging program.
The program is for students who are enrolled in an internship or practicum (including clinicals, practicals and administrator in training program) that involves older adults or their caregivers. The program links students’ hands-on experience to aging-related policy at the state level. The program provides scholars of all academic backgrounds with the opportunity to learn about aging-related policy-making; establish career-long professional contacts; and gain valuable career knowledge and skills in the field of aging.
Since 2013, 107 Scholars, representing 15 Ohio colleges and universities, have participated in 10 sessions of Ohio Scholars in Aging.
Applications are now open for the 2020 session of the Ohio Scholars in Aging Program.
