Are there scholarships for college in Ohio?

I'm thinking of applying to schools in Ohio and I'm curious if there are specific scholarships available in that state. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Absolutely, there are numerous scholarships specifically for students attending schools in Ohio. Here are a few to start with:

1. The Ohio Board of Regents offers multiple scholarships to Ohio high school graduates like the Ohio College Opportunity Grant (OCOG) for undergraduate students with exceptional financial need.

2. The Ohio War Orphans Scholarship offers annual tuition assistance to the children of deceased or severely disabled Ohio veterans, while the Ohio Safety Officers College Memorial Fund provides tuition assistance to the children and spouses of peace officers, firefighters and certain other safety officers who died in the line of duty anywhere in the U.S.

3. In addition, specific universities have their own offerings. For instance, Ohio State University has the Eminence Fellows Program and Scholarship which offers a full ride to exceptional students. Similarly, the University of Cincinnati, has the Cincinnatus Scholarship Program that provides a range of awards to out-of-state students.

4. Furthermore, the Choose Ohio First (COF) scholarship program is aimed at Ohio residents who plan to pursue degrees in STEM fields.

Ensure to look at the eligibility requirements and application deadlines for each scholarship to increase your chances of securing them. It's also worth speaking to a high school guidance counselor or a representative from the financial aid office at the schools you're applying to—they'll be able to provide the most updated and relevant information.
