ALUMNI SCHOLARS PROGRAM

The purpose of the Alumni Scholars Program (ASP) is to provide recognition and financial assistance to outstanding incoming freshmen. Each year since 1979, The Ohio State University's Office of Development has provided funding for the Alumni Scholars Program scholarship awards. Constituted alumni clubs select and recommend talented incoming freshmen for this merit-based scholarship. Clubs that participate may award one $600 scholarship for every 2,000 alumni (or portion thereof) living in their county or club area. The scholarship money may be used to attend any of Ohio State's campuses.

Who is eligible?
The Office of Student Financial Aid selects a recipient(s) based on club recommendations.

To receive the ASP award, students must

  • Be admitted to the university
  • Rank in the top 25 percent of his or her high school class (preferably the top 10 percent)
  • Be recommended by school principals, counselors, and/or teachers based on scholastic ability and character
  • Have a record of performance in activities both in school and in the community
  • Impress the club's scholarship committee during the personal interview by demonstrating a sound interest and positive attitude toward college
  • Be residents or attend high school in the county/area in which the participating alumni club's membership is based
