Colleges and Universities

• Many of the Ohio colleges and universities with teaching degree programs also offer scholarships to incoming high school seniors attending those schools. Ohio University's Patton College of Education sponsors more than 40 scholarships for teaching education majors. Several of the scholarships are designated for high school seniors who will be incoming freshmen at the school, including the Harry and Helen Woodruff Scholarship and the Mary Ellin Weinberg Education Scholarship created especially for graduates of Grandview Heights High School.

The amount of the scholarship varies depending on funding received each year and the student's financial need.
