Scholarship Opportunities for Undergraduate Students
Scripps College of Communication Undergraduate Student Scholarships
At Ohio University, we believe that a university education should be both academically excellent and accessible to all. While the Office of Student Financial Aid and Scholarships offers resources such as financial aid, grants, student loans, and work study to help you pay for your education, each school within the Scripps College of Communication offers additional scholarship opportunities as well.
Many of the school-specific scholarships are academically based. Others honor commitment to professional achievement, leadership, and community service. Some are targeted to students from particular regions, counties, or cities.
