Because of donor support, our OT student was able to participate in their Level II fieldwork and service-learning experiences without the financial stress and worry. Their focus was on working with their clients who were in need of occupational therapy services. That experience didn’t just build clinical skills, it helped the student discover a passion for advocacy, shape their purpose and step into the profession with confidence and less financial strain.
