Ohio War Orphans Scholarship

For the 2009-2010 academic year, the amount of the War Orphans Scholarship is:

Public Universities and Community Colleges: 80 percent of tuition/general fees
Independent (non-profit) and proprietary (for-profit): $4,400 (annual award)

The Ohio War Orphans Scholarship Board met July 9 to approve new applicants for the 2009-2010 academic year. Additionally, the board members discussed the level of funding for the new academic year which is 5.5 percent less than the funding for the last academic year. Once again, the board was forced to make a difficult but necessary decision to reduce the value of individual awards in order to live within the financial means of the programs for the 2009-2010 academic year.

Students must attend full-time, and prior recipients must meet appropriate cumulative GPA requirements (minimum 2.00).

Overview

What is it? The Ohio War Orphans Scholarship Program awards tuition assistance to the children of deceased or severely disabled Ohio veterans who served in the armed forces during a period of declared war or conflict.

Who is eligible? To receive War Orphans Scholarship benefits, a student must be enrolled for full-time undergraduate study at an eligible Ohio college or university. Ohio residency is required. Applicants must be under the age of 25.

How much aid is available? Scholarship benefits cover a portion of instructional and general fee charges at two and four-year public institutions and a portion of these charges at eligible private colleges and universities.

How do I apply? Application is made to the Ohio Board of Regents/State Grants and Scholarships Department.

Where do I get an application? Click here to get the application. Applications are also available from the Ohio Board of Regents/State Grants and Scholarships Department, high school guidance offices, veterans service offices, and college Financial Aid Offices.
