Congratulations to 2014 Scholarship Recipients!
As a non-profit organization, OSUACMC is involved in a variety of community events and projects which promote and support graduates and friends of The Ohio State University. However, the club’s primary cause is to provide scholarships to Muskingum County students attending the campuses of Ohio State. Our local alumni club offers opportunities for both high school seniors and current Ohio State students to secure valuable scholarship money for their college educational expenses. High school candidates for the Alumni Scholars Program must rank within the top 25% of their graduating class, must be active participants in school activities and community service, and must possess a strong desire to become a Buckeye. Applications are accepted during December and January and finalists are interviewed in February by our local scholarship committee. Scholarships for Current OSU Students are open to candidates in at least their second academic year, with sophomore status or higher, pursuing undergraduate degrees. Applicants must also have a minimum college Grade Point Average (GPA) of 2.5 or above and meet several other application requirements.
