- The Alumni Scholars Scholarship
- The Alumni Scholars Program is an official program of The Ohio State University Alumni Association, Inc., and the admissions office of The Ohio State University. The amount and number of scholarships varies based on the funds available.
-
The scholarships are strictly merit based, and are available to seniors graduating from Stark County high schools who plan to attend The Ohio State University. These scholarships are one time, non-renewable scholarships for entering freshmen only. Note: If you are a student athlete, you MAY not be eligible to receive an alumni club scholarship.
Applications for this scholarship are delivered to the Guidance Office in each high school in the county in mid-September to early October. Different schools choose to advertise these scholarships in different ways. A poster is included with the applications, but some schools choose not to display the poster. Interested students should check with the guidance office and specifically request information on Ohio State and on the Alumni Scholars Scholarship.
All applications must be returned to our scholarship chairperson (whose name and address will be listed on the application) no later than January 15. Note that the guidance counselor must complete a portion of the application, so leave enough time for him/her to do so. The applications will be reviewed, and the top ten candidates will be interviewed sometime in February.
The Stark County Alumni Club is required to provide a ranked listing of all interviewed candidates to the Office of Student Financial Aid at Ohio State no later than February 25. While they generally accept our recommendations, there have been occasions where our top choice(s) have received a full scholarship from another source or have chosen to attend another university, or have chosen for some other reason to decline the scholarship. For these, and other reasons, we cannot notify our recipients until the Financial Aid Office has determined that the student will be attending Ohio State, and that the student is eligible for additional aid from our scholarship. This process may take until April
