Scholarship Details
Through dedicated fundraising efforts, our society has made scholarships possible for those who need them most. Our goal is to empower more students to overcome financial obstacles, including those who may not be supported by their families.
Students must meet the following requirements to be eligible for scholarships:
- We accept scholarship applications on an annual basis. Awards are for academic years, with 50% awarded autumn semester and 50% during spring semester.
- Scholarships are a one-time award granted for the next academic year. To be eligible, the student must be enrolled for the next academic year in a degree-seeking program (undergraduate or graduate) at The Ohio State University.
- Eligible students are able to reapply on an annual basis.
- Currently enrolled students must have a cumulative GPA of no less than 3.0.
- Scholarships may be used for main campus or a regional campus.
Individual scholarships may have additional eligibility criteria in addition to the guidelines listed above; however, you only need to submit one application because ScholarshipUniverse will automatically consider you for every other Scarlet & Gay scholarship you qualify for.
