Choose Ohio First Scholarship Program
The goal of the Choose Ohio First Scholarship Program (COFSP) is to produce around 800 additional graduates in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields over the next five years. Scholarships are awarded in the range of $1500 to $4700 per academic year.
It targets both full- and part-time students who would most likely not have the opportunity or desire to pursue a STEM degree, whether they are currently in high school, early college, or the present workforce.
The students that we are targeting in our recruitment efforts for this program are:
- Students who would normally go out of state for a STEM degree
- Students interested in STEM but who choose a different major
- Non-traditional students seeking to enhance or change their career
- Former military personnel
- Persons working in industry
- Populations underrepresented in the STEM disciplines
The program focuses on interdisciplinary studies and work that support and expand our efforts in the bio-technology/engineering/materials corridor development for Northeast Ohio. Encouraged student activities:
The data collected from the assessment of the program will be used to extend and expand our excellent track record in STEM education research and STEM student graduation and job placement. |
