2008 AWARD RECIPIENT
Women & Philanthropy Scholarship Fund
With an award of $18,080, the members of Women & Philanthropy launched a new scholarship in 2008 to provide financial assistance for a deserving student attending The Ohio State University.
As financial issues remain a primary factor in students’ decisions about whether and where to attend college, the Women & Philanthropy Scholarship Fund supports Ohio State’s foremost mission to provide talented students access to a top-rate education.
“We want talented and deserving students to come to Ohio State, and the availability of scholarship assistance is essential to this charge,” says Dr. Martha Garland, vice provost and dean of the Office of Enrollment Services & Undergraduate Education. “We rely heavily on ongoing private support of scholarships and fellowships to be successful.”
The Women & Philanthropy Scholarship, which will be administered by the Office of Student Financial Aid in consultation with Women & Philanthropy’s Scholarship Committee, will be awarded annually to one or more undergraduate or University Honors students as part of the Access Scholarship Initiative.
“Ohio State can carry out its mission thanks to scholarships and fellowships created by generous members of the Ohio State community like Women & Philanthropy,” Garland says. “You will make a difference in the lives of these students.”
