Why give now? Every donation for Day of Giving will unlock a share of our $190,000 matching pool, so you can make an even bigger impact on the causes you care about most! Gifts received now through April 3, 2025 at 11:59pm are eligible. 

The College of Optometry at The Ohio State University trains the very best optometrists in the country while also providing clinical services to our patients here in Central Ohio. The Optometry General Scholarship Fund awards scholarships to more of our admitted students, which enables us to attract the best students and remain the best optometry school in the country.

The generosity of our alumni and friends provides our students with the financial support needed to allow them to focus on becoming the best optometrists and vision scientists possible, so they can improve the lives of their future patients. 

Will you join us and make a gift today as we support Buckeye optometry students? 

"It is because of you that I was able to achieve more than I thought I was capable of during optometry school.  From scholarships to our new state-of-the-art facilities, your generosity has transformed dreams into reality, aspirations into accomplishments, and students into doctors."

Emily Benson (MS/OD’24)
