In 1999, the Executive Board of the Ohio Academy of Audiology discussed the establishment of a scholarship for students pursuing post-graduate education in the field of audiology. In the year 2000, a scholarship committee was established with the purpose of awarding a scholarship during the 2001 fiscal year. The Scholarship is named the Julie S. Kelly Memorial Scholarship in memory of a well-liked and well-respected audiologist, Julie Kelly, who lost her battle with pancreatic cancer in March of 2000. The non-renewable scholarship is awarded on an annual basis to a student enrolled in a Doctor of Audiology Program in the state of Ohio. |
