San Diego Alumni Club - Scholarship
Scholarship
Since 2004, OSUSD has offered scholarships to San Diego’s top students.
These scholarships are awarded based on both merit and need, and help offset the cost of attending The Ohio State University as an out-of-state student. This is one of the most important ways we, as a Club, pay it forward. We are proud that the Gary M. Rectenwald Scholarship Fund of San Diego, California is endowed.
2024-2025 Recipients
OSUSD continues to support students who have maintained or exceeded a 3.0 GPA. We have renewed the scholarships for the following upperclassmen:
Emma Hellenkamp, Cathedral Catholic High School
Alexis Rast, Carlsbad High School
Jordan Acuna, Rancho Bernardo High School
Sydney Pack, Academy of Our Lady of Peace

Giving
The Gary M. Rectenwald Scholarship Fund of San Diego, California would not be possible without donations from alumni, friends and family of the University. Please consider donating, even if it is a small amount. Remember, your charitable gift applies towards your sustaining membership (monthly gift of $10 or more or a one-time gift of $75 for football ticket eligibility) and some employers offer matching gift programs. There are two ways to donate to our endowed scholarship fund:
- Online
Visit giveto.osu.edu - By phone
Call (614) 292-2141 and mention account #605983
You will receive a 501c3 receipt directly from The Ohio State University Alumni Association (OSUAA) for your scholarship donation.
If you’re shopping for Buckeye gear online, in-person or by phone, please remember to mention our club or code below because some vendors donate a portion of their sale to our scholarship fund. This is an easy way to pay it forward while you stock up on some Buckeye spirit gear!
