Scripps Alumnus establishes endowed scholarship in honor of friends he lived with
at OHIO

Bill Brand of Williamsville, N.Y., who graduated with a bachelor’s degree in 1987 from Ohio University, visited campus this past weekend to announce the establishment of the 73 West State Award, a two-year renewable scholarship for Scripps College students, in honor of the friends he lived with at 73 West State Street while a student at Ohio University.

A tradition of giving that began with a love story

Alan Riedel began his undergraduate career at Ohio University in the fall of 1948. He was awarded a full-tuition scholarship, which at the time was $45.

He chose to attend OHIO because it was close to home - a decision that has influenced his entire life.

Alumna has 28 years of continuous giving
- and counting

When Denice Korcal left Ohio University in 1984, she did so with an interesting mission: she decided she would give back to the University at least as much as she received in financial assistance as a student.

Twenty-eight years and nearly four-dozen donations later, Korcal is persistent in fulfilling her mission.

to Athens

There are plenty of brilliant young minds that simply need an opportunity to come their way at the right time and place. Such an opportunity materialized for one deserving student with the creation of The Mr. John A. Long Scholarship.

The full scholarship is funded annually and provides an engineering student with the opportunity to transfer from an Ohio University regional campus to the main campus in Athens. The student must show a financial need and be maintaining a 3.0 G.P.A.

Mich Hein helps fund
research apprenticeships

Mich Hein said that he was "fundamentally bored" with his first-year classes and he considered leaving college to explore other opportunities. When he joined Honors Tutorial College (HTC) as a sophomore, however, he found the rigorous material, intimate relationships and engaging research opportunities that sparked his scientific career.

In his own words:
Teachers are miracles

Teachers take facts and wisdom and transfer them to others. They spark the fire of curiosity that leads to the development of our common life together. My mother was a teacher and very much a miracle. It is in her honor that I established a Gladys W. and David H. Patton College of Education scholarship to benefit pre-service teachers.
