My dad's in the military and we're stationed in Ohio for now. Are there any colleges around here that provide special scholarships or benefits for military kids?
Yes, Ohio has several institutions that provide scholarship opportunities and benefits for military kids.
For instance, Ohio State University has the Military and Veterans Services office which offers resources and funding opportunities to military children. They also award the Tillman Scholars program, a scholarship specifically for military dependents.
Miami University also has the Miami University ROTC Alumni Society Scholarship which can be beneficial to children from military families who are interested in joining the ROTC at Miami.
Additionally, the University of Cincinnati lists numerous scholarships available to dependent children of military personnel through their Veteran Programs & Services.
Another resource to consider is the Ohio War Orphans Scholarship, which awards tuition assistance to the children of deceased or severely disabled Ohio veterans who served in the armed forces during a period of declared war or conflict.
Remember to check each school's specific requirements and deadlines order to maximize your potential benefits. It's a great idea to reach out to the specific Veteran and Military services departments at the colleges you're interested in, as they can provide more detailed and personalized information.
