Today is Giving Day – a powerful opportunity to make a lasting impact in the lives of students pursuing careers in health sciences! Your gift to the School of Health Sciences Scholarship Fund will bless students, increasing access to transformative education, research, and training, as they strive to follow the Lord’s calling in their life, advancing the Gospel of King Jesus through science, research, medicine, public health, forensic science, exercise science, physical/occupational/respiratory therapy, athletic training, physical education and health, zoo & wildlife biology, and so much more. Thank you for being part of our mission, Training Champions for Christ, to shape the future of health sciences—one student at a time. https://givingday.liberty.edu/pages/school-of-health-sciences
