State Senator Chris Widener (R-Springfield) today announced the Ohio Association of Career Colleges and Schools 2011-2012 Legislative Scholarship Program. The program offers over 340 scholarship opportunities worth more than $1,100,000 to graduating high school seniors in Ohio.
“This program is an excellent opportunity for students to assist with the cost of obtaining the education and training necessary in today’s job market,” said Widener. “I encourage graduating seniors to seriously consider applying for a scholarship.”
Available scholarships under the program may cover one-half tuition, or specific amounts that would assist the recipient in obtaining a certificate, diploma, an associate degree or a bachelor’s degree. As part of the program, each applicant must obtain the signature of a member of the Ohio House of Representatives or the Ohio Senate on the Legislative Nomination Form.
Anyone interested in applying for the program may obtain the necessary application forms and more information about the program at the Ohio Association of Career Colleges and Schools website: www.ohiocareercolleges.org.
