Ohio is known for being the first to breaking boundaries in higher education, establishing Oberlin College as the first interracial and coeducational college in the U.S. The Buckeye State has continued to encourage and inspire its residents on the importance of an education, especially with these scholarships for Ohio residents.
Even if you aren’t a current resident of Ohio but plan to attend a school in the state, such as: the Ohio State University (OSU), University of Cincinnati (UC), Miami University of Ohio (MU), or the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT), you may also be qualified for these Ohio scholarships for students.
