Austin plans to attend Nebraska Wesleyan University this fall, where he will play football and study biology in preparation for obtaining a medical degree. He is interested in becoming an orthopedic surgeon or a radiologist. Darin and Jana Neufeld are his parents.

The auxiliary contributed $1,250, and the hospital contributed $750 toward the scholarships.
