The Ohio National Guard Scholarship Program (ONGSP) is available to current members of the Ohio Army & Air National Guard, as well as former members with qualifying deployment time (Latta Amendment students). The scholarship covers 100% of tuition charges for courses applicable to, or leading to, an associate or bachelor’s degree, a diploma-granting nursing program, as well as approved trade certification, credential-certifying, or licensing programs at participating public colleges and universities (100% of the state public college average tuition rate at private colleges and universities on the Approved Schools List).
Members must meet the following eligibility requirements to apply: must be an enlisted “member in good standing” in the Ohio National Guard during the entire academic term they are applying for and attending; must meet educational requirements (must possess a high school diploma or GED, but have no bachelor’s degree, and must take a minimum of three semester hours (two quarter hours) in a term to expend Ohio National Guard Scholarship Program funds); and must exhaust any qualifying FTA or CA funds prior to applying. The total number of awards and the dollar amounts will vary.
