“I was extremely grateful for the scholarship funds I received from the OSU Alumni Club of Richland County.  They allowed me to attend OSU and graduate virtually debt free.  I was also very happy to have started my college career at OSU-Mansfield.  It allowed me to make the transition from high school to college in a smaller, more-intimate setting while adjusting to the academic and social changes of college.  Living at OSU housing near campus gave me a realistic college environment that helped make my transition to the rest of my college career a seamless transition.”
