<p>In case you haven't heard....this scholarship (aka Ohio Academic Scholarship) is not going to be available 2009.......? Check out the website for the full article. Sign of the times....</p>
<p>Really???
I had no idea... wow...that's really bad...</p>
<p>Can you post a link so everyone can confirm?
Because my HS guidance office is in the process of selecting students to be nominated for this scholarship...</p>
<p>Sorry, Tetra.....I'm a parent without good computer skills :( If you Google...Ohio Board of Regents... and once on their website search for Ohio Academic Scholarship it is all there.</p>
<p>Have any current recipients of the Ohio Academic Scholarship heard whether they are continuing to fund this for next year?</p>
<p>My son (who just graduated from college) had this award for the past four years. From what I can tell by the web site, there is no funding for this going forward even for current scholarship holders.</p>
<p>From what I understand, the state is moving completely to need based scholarships so if there is need this scholarship could be converted to a need based OH offered scholarship.</p>
<p>I feel especially sorry for any current recipients if they do not continue to fund this. My daughter is the recipient of a State Regents scholarship in our State (Oklahoma) and we would be devastated if they stopped funding it part way through her college career. (after seeing this thread I rushed off to their web site to check).</p>
<p>I wasn’t sure that the web site said that they were no longer funding this… I was hoping that it didn’t since my s just finished his freshman year. I think it is a shame if they do away with this-- it was at least one way to try to encourage top students to stay in state.</p>
<p>Yeah, I was selected for the scholarship last year (I’m about to finish up my freshman year) and I got an email saying it was being discontinued. 
Fortunately, I already had a full scholarship to college regardless of other aid, but I have a friend who was really depending on it (he was selected for it the year ahead of me at my HS).</p>
