AT A GLANCE: The Ohio National Guard Scholarship Program

• Subject to funding available from the Ohio General Assembly the program provides 100 percent tuition to Army and Air Guard members attending a two- or four- year public college or university. An equivalent amount that is the average state tuition charge can be applied toward the costs at a private institution.

• The scholarship is available for up to 12 full-time quarters or eight full-time semesters.

• Participants must commit to and/or complete a six-year enlistment in the Ohio Guard. New enlistees must complete basic training and obtain a military job skill to qualify for a scholarship.

• Scholarship program recipients must maintain good attendance at their unit drills; excessive absenteeism is cause for termination from the program. In such cases, Ohio law provides for recoupment of a share of tuition already paid.
