Scholarships are important to students! One of Â鶹´«Ã½â€™s highest fundraising priorities is helping students access the excellent education and high impact learning practices that will set them apart in their careers and change their lives. On average 90 percent of Â鶹´«Ã½ students receive some sort of financial support to offset the cost of attending college. This direct connection between donors and students is meaningful in helping students to realize their dreams. If you are considering making a gift to Ohio Northern, consider supporting students through an endowed scholarship or a contribution to the Northern Now Scholarship fund.

When you establish an endowed scholarship, you are creating a legacy of support. Your gifts are invested permanently, then the annual distributions are awarded as one or more scholarships. You may choose to support all students or those in a particular academic area, from a specific geographical area, or who are developing a talent for which you are passionate. In addition, you may choose to name the scholarship in honor of a loved one, a special individual, or a group such as your family. Because your endowed scholarship will be a permanent legacy, you may add gifts in the future and leave a gift through your will or estate. Endowed scholarship funds can be initiated with a restricted or unrestricted gift, pledge or bequest.

Scholarship awards are made for a full academic year and may be renewed annually on the basis of satisfactory progress toward graduation. The recipient(s) of any scholarship award may also qualify for additional forms of financial assistance, institutional or otherwise. Scholarship recipients are limited to Â鶹´«Ã½ students, including entering freshmen, who are deemed worthy of financial assistance as judged by appropriate college officials and who meet the preferred qualifications specified by you, when applicable.
