Clark State Foundation
It is the Clark State 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 Community Commitment scholarships. The Scholarship Committee will determine which scholarships an applicant is eligible for.
Each year, the Clark State Foundation raises funds to help students attend college. Visit the Clark State Foundation web site to learn more.
