Scholarships
It is the
Foundation's vision that no one will be denied an education because
of financial need.
Ohio ranks
41st in the United States in its support to higher education.
As a result, Ohio's tuition ranks the 9th highest in the country.
Not surprisingly, Ohio's college attendance rates are low, and
within our own community, less than 15 percent of adults have
completed college.
Although Clark
State's tuition for a full-time student is still approximately $3,500 a
year, that figure puts college out of reach for many. Most of
Clark State's students are in their mid-twenties to mid-forties,
juggling jobs and families, and therefore facing many personal
and financial challenges in trying to acquire an education.
Foundation
scholarships help remove the financial barriers. The Foundation
also assists with childcare expenses for those who cannot afford
it, allowing students to earn the education that will provide
a better life for themselves and their children.
Donors of
restricted or endowed scholarships can establish special criteria
to be used in selecting the recipients, such as county of residence,
program major, grade point average, financial need, etc. The
Foundation also appreciates unrestricted gifts which fund the
Foundation Commitment scholarships.
