WARREN, Ohio – Game Changers and the Trumbull Memorial Health Foundation on Tuesday announced a partnership to support students pursuing careers in health and wellness fields.
The newly established Game Changers Health and Wellness Scholarship [Powered by Trumbull Memorial Health Foundation] reflects both organizations’ commitment to expanding opportunity and strengthening community health across the Mahoning Valley, a news release states.
The scholarship will support participants in the Game Changers organization who are pursuing post-secondary education in a wide range of health-related disciplines. While traditional medical fields remain essential, the partnership highlights the growing importance of diverse fields such as sports psychology, art therapy, physical therapy, exercise science, mental health counseling, nutrition and other holistic and community-centered wellness careers, the release states.
“This partnership represents a meaningful investment in the future of health and wellness in our community,” said Melissa Miller, chair of TMHF’s scholarship committee. “By powering this scholarship, we are not only supporting individual students, we are strengthening the pipeline of professionals who will address physical, mental and emotional well-being in innovative ways for years to come.”
Game Changers has integrated the scholarship into its program model. The collaboration with TMHF ensures that participants with a demonstrated passion for health and wellness careers have access to financial support as they take the next step in their educational journeys, the release states.
“At Game Changers, our focus is on helping student-athletes grow as leaders and reach their full potential, both on and off the field,” said Michael Engram, executive director of Game Changers. “This scholarship strengthens our ability to support those young people as they pursue meaningful futures, including careers in health and wellness that reflect their passions, experiences and commitment to their communities.”
