Scholarships

Invest in OHIO students—the best investment you’ll ever make.

Ohio University students arrive here with boundless potential, exceptional talent and an extraordinary commitment to learning. And when they leave, there’s no limit to what they can accomplish. So even a modest investment in scholarships can yield immeasurable rewards in the long run. Student scholarships do more than just bring the best and brightest to Ohio University—they help keep them here. And your support makes it all possible.

Thanks to our donors, here are just a few of the scholarships Ohio University offers:

Legacy Scholarships

Legacy Scholarships help children and grandchildren of Ohio University alumni continue the Bobcat tradition. We love supporting generations of families sharing the OHIO experience.

Appalachian and Urban Scholars Programs Scholarships

Appalachian and Urban Scholars Programs Scholarships scholarships show we care for those who need our help the most. They support students with high financial need from areas in urban and Appalachian Ohio. They are renewable each year, and along with the award, students also receive individual mentoring, tutoring, academic support and a book stipend.

Make a gift to the Appalachian Scholars General Scholarship Endowment or the Urban Scholars General Scholarship Endowment to support these programs and students.

Alumni Association and Affinity Group Scholarships

Affinity Scholarships provide assistance to students linked with alumni affinity networks. Through numerous scholarship options, students can avail themselves of various opportunities for financial aid based on their location, academic institution, field of study, or specific passions.
