About the Young Scholars Program
YSP is an exceptional opportunity for academically talented, first-generation students with high financial need to advance their goal of pursuing higher education. Founded in 1988, YSP serves students from the nine largest urban public school districts in Ohio: Akron, Canton, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton, Lorain, Toledo, and Youngstown. Scholars must meet all program requirements including qualifying as low-income and being the first in their family to receive a bachelor's degree. Scholars must complete a rigorous college preparatory curriculum, with high academic achievement to be eligible for the scholarship. Scholars in good academic standing receive a robust financial aid package to The Ohio State University, consisting of federal and state grants, work-study, and the Young Scholars Award.
