College Scholarships for Ohio Private School Students

I'm attending a private high school in Ohio and am wondering if there are specific scholarships available for students like me. College is expensive, and I'd love to find some financial assistance opportunities tailored to my situation.

Absolutely, there are various scholarships aimed at students from Ohio private schools. To begin with, the state of Ohio offers need-based Ohio College Opportunity Grants (OCOG) for its residents attending eligible private and public in-state colleges. This means you could still get assistance as an Ohio resident going to an Ohio college understandably depending on your financial need.

Next, the Choose Ohio First Scholarship is a STEM-focused scholarship for Ohio residents. It's available to students interested in pursuing degrees in STEM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, or Medicine). Some private schools may be eligible for this too.

Moreover, you should check out programs like The Columbus Foundation Scholarships, where they offer various scholarships for different demographics - including students attending private schools. Similarly, the Cincinnati Scholarship Foundation offers scholarships for Cincinnati area students, including those from private schools.

On a more specific note, students attending Catholic high schools in Ohio have access to The Archdiocese of Cincinnati Catholic High School Graduate Award.

One final suggestion would be to check out Appily, which is a tool that matches students to scholarships based on their individual profiles which may help you find private school-specific scholarships too.

Hopefully, this gives you a good starting point. Remember to also explore the available financial aid options directly from your prospective universities. They often have a range of scholarships, some of which might be designed specifically for students from private schools.
