Southwest Virginia Alumni Club - Scholarship
Scholarship
Our alumni club began awarding scholarships in May 2005.
Graduating seniors from high schools in the preferred area of Southwest Virginia who enroll at Ohio State as freshmen may be considered for an initial scholarship.
Standards include:
• Ranking in top 25% of high school graduating class
• Demonstrated involvement in high school and community activities
• A sound interest and positive attitude towards college work
Students attending Ohio State after their freshman year may also be considered for scholarships, if they are in good standing with the University.
