OHSAA Awards
$66,000 in College Scholarships to 54 Students
Each of the six
District Athletic Boards has selected recipients for OHSAA and OHSAA
Foundation Scholarships
COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Ohio High School Athletic Association will hand
out total of $66,000 in college scholarships to 54 recent high school
student-athlete graduates following final selections made recently by
the OHSAA’s six District Athletic Boards. The OHSAA has conducted its
annual college scholarship program for the last 21 years.
Of the 54 honorees, 42 will receive $1,000 awards, including six (one
from each district) who will receive an OHSAA Minority Scholarship
presented by Farmers Insurance. In addition, two students from each
district will receive $2,000 awards made possible by the OHSAA
Foundation. Nike and Molten have also contributed to the OHSAA
scholarship program, as well as schools that participate in an OHSAA
Foundation basketball game, which includes a fee given to the
Foundation to fund their portion of the scholarships.
“These 54 youngsters had outstanding high school athletic careers and
they also were exemplary students in the classroom,” said OHSAA
Commissioner Dr. Dan Ross. “They truly represent what it means to be a
student-athlete and families and schools are to be commended for
helping them achieve great things already. I would also like to
personally thank the OHSAA Foundation and our corporate partners for
their generous support in helping make these scholarships possible.”
More About the Scholar-Athlete Selection Process
Scholar-athlete recipients are selected based on a point system which
rewards students for grade point averages; class rank; ACT or SAT
scores; varsity letters earned; and individual and team athletic
honors. There are seven, 10 or 13 recipients from each district,
depending upon the number of schools within the district. The
recipients were selected by special committees within each of the six
OHSAA athletic districts. Individuals who receive athletic scholarships
from NCAA Division I or II institutions or appointees to military
academies are not eligible for the award.
