Hold the Door Open For OHIO Students
At Ohio University, our mission is clear: to hold the door open to higher education so that all those eager to solve humanity's most urgent challenges might Enter to Learn, connecting them with experiences and discovery that will help them think critically, care deeply, lead boldly, and ultimately Depart to Serve. There are more than 28,000 students spread across our OHIO campuses and online. Our students Chris, Sully, and Kylie - featured below - represent a fraction of our learners. Philanthropy is not only making education possible for OHIO students. It’s enriching their lives beyond measure.
Three unique individuals. Three aspirational stories. Three futures altered by the generosity of others.
I received this gift and was reassured. I’m on the right route. I can’t say it enough: Thank you so much for investing in the future, in my future.
Chris’s fellowship award, funded through a donor-supported endowment, empowered him to explore translational biomedical research. His time in clinic, working with patients, spurred his interest in lymphatic pumping and wound healing. Chris is enrolled in OHIO’s D.O./Ph.D. program.
When I was offered the scholarship, all the other college offers went out the window. To be raised in Appalachia, to come up in that educational system, and to face those stereotypes that say higher education isn’t for you, this opportunity changed my life.
Sully is enrolled in OHIO’s 4+1 degree track program where he will earn a bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts, with an emphasis in painting and drawing, and also a master’s degree in Art Education. Upon graduation, Sully will be eligible to teach art in grades pre-K through 12.
Growing up, I was always worried. I knew I was going to go to college. I just didn’t exactly know how. I’m forever grateful to the donors and to the directors of the Cutler Scholars Program.
Kylie’s scholarship program is for students who are driven to explore how they can use their skills and interests to make a positive impact in their communities. Kylie is pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Journalism News and Information.
OHIO is Holding the Door Open to Higher Education
That is our mission, after all. Please take a moment to consider making a gift to support our students. There are many students – just like Kylie, Sully, and Chris – whose paths will undoubtedly benefit from your generosity.
All donors to this campaign will receive this one-of-a-kind Alumni Gateway sticker as our thanks. We hope you’ll display it proudly as a symbol that you’ve helped future Bobcats to Enter to Learn and Depart to Serve.
