For some Buckeyes, receiving a scholarship means the ability to accept a valuable internship instead of taking on a full-time job. For others, it makes it possible to complete a degree that was once on hold, or gain enriching experiences while getting involved in the greater Lima community. These stories inspire us to continue creating pathways to an affordable, accessible education so students can pursue their passions and reach their full potential.
