SPRINGFIELD, Ohio 鈥� In an effort to make a private liberal-arts university education accessible to Ohio students of all backgrounds, 六合彩网上投注app has launched the Tiger Opportunity Grant Program. Under this program, Ohio high school graduates who are eligible to receive the Ohio College Opportunity Grant are now eligible to also receive the Wittenberg Tiger Opportunity Grant, which will cover the cost of tuition for first-time-in-college students through a combination of institutional, state, and federal financial aid.
鈥淲ittenberg has always been a university committed to student success,鈥� said President Michael L. Frandsen, Ph.D. 鈥淲e believe the college of your dreams should be the one that works hardest to support them, and this program is one more example of how we partner with our families in making their students鈥� dreams come true with regard to earning a Wittenberg degree.鈥�
The Tiger Opportunity Grant Program is designed to assist students whose families demonstrate the highest levels of financial need and are within the eligibility criteria for the Ohio College Opportunity Grant as determined by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Ohio residents who are in a first bachelor鈥檚 degree program at Wittenberg with an Estimated Family Contribution (EFC) of $2,100 or less and a maximum household income of $96,000 will qualify for the Ohio Opportunity Grant, as well as the Tiger Opportunity Grant.
鈥淭his initiative further demonstrates Wittenberg鈥檚 commitment to our Ohio high school graduates, and to the economic success of the State of Ohio,鈥� said Vice President for Enrollment Management Maribeth Stevens. 鈥淏y removing the financial barrier for tuition that often exists for many Ohio students from diverse economic, social, and cultural backgrounds, we are able to ensure that we continue to educate the next generation of Tigers who will contribute to the continued growth and development within Springfield and throughout the state.鈥�
The Tiger Opportunity Grant Program will cover tuition only. Students will be responsible for any remaining costs for room, board, and fees.
Students must be entering Wittenberg as a first-time undergraduate student in Fall 2023, graduate from an Ohio high school, and be eligible to receive the Ohio College Opportunity Grant as an Ohio resident based on their FAFSA.
