THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY
2009 PRESIDENTIAL SCHOLARSHIP

The Ohio State University’s Presidential Scholarship is one of the University’s most prestigious scholarships for incoming freshmen. Established in 1991, the Presidential Scholarship currently supports some of our most promising undergraduates as they develop into future scholars and leaders. The Presidential Scholarship awards full in-state tuition, room and board, book allowance and miscellaneous expenses.

In addition to receiving financial support, Presidential Scholars become members of The Ohio State University’s Honors Collegium, a select group of students in the University Honors Program. The Honors Collegium is a program for purposeful students who expect to distinguish themselves beyond the baccalaureate degree. Members of the Collegium create customized learning experiences, embrace rigorous academics, and go on to become intellectual leaders in the global community.

After reviewing all online scholarship applications, Maximus essay scores, and other data, selected students will be named as finalists and invited to attend the Interview Weekend scheduled for Sunday, March 7 through Monday, March 8, 2010. Following this weekend, ten individuals will be named Ohio State University Presidential Scholars. Please note that due to the format of our finalist interview process, we are unable to offer alternate interview dates.

To be eligible for the Presidential Scholarship, a student must:
  1. Be named a Maximus Scholar
  2. Register for and compete in the Maximus Competition
  3. Complete the Honors Online Scholarship Application (HOSA) by February 1, 2010.
