SEE the complete list of OHSAA scholarship winners.
Winners were selected by the OHSAA’s six District Athletic Boards based on a point system that rewards students for grade point average, class rank, ACT or SAT score, varsity letters earned, and individual and team athletic honors.
The number of scholarship recipients from each district is based upon the number of schools within the district.
Individuals who receive athletic scholarships from NCAA Division I or II institutions or appointees to military academies are not eligible.
The OHSAA’s annual college scholarship program is now in its 27th year.
