OHIO Scholarship Initiative
Now more than ever, students need our support, in every way. That’s why Ohio University is committed to increasing scholarships, and we need your help. Your gift ensures more students will have the life-changing OHIO experience.
2 Ways to Increase Your Impact:
1
Now & For Everyone
(Your Gift x2)
The Current-Use Scholarship Program helps you make the most significant impact for students. If you give before June 30, 2021, we’ll provide university funds to double it, up to $10 million. These gifts go immediately to students where they’re needed most, letting nothing stand in the way of their OHIO experience.

Share Where You Care
