Day of Giving
Today’s the day to be part of something BIG as alumni, family and friends of Ohio State go all in to support undergraduate and graduate students with critically needed scholarships. Scholarships open doors to exceptional opportunities for learning, mentorship and collaboration at Ohio State. But they also help students to meet everyday needs.
Join us with a gift to uplift students and make a life-changing education more affordable.

“I believe affordability and accessibility, along with student success, are our North Star. Day of Giving raises money for initiatives that create more pathways for students to attend Ohio State through scholarships. I am committed to reducing student debt and grateful to our donors for supporting those who are inspired to pursue higher education and need additional resources.”
Thousands of students. Different journeys. Scholarships change lives.
Jocelyn Bailey
Second-year communications major
"Without scholarships, I might not have become a Buckeye. I wouldn’t be able to continue to prioritize time and efforts toward my involvement in organizations that have fully enriched my experience. This support assists in graduating debt-free — while developing skills needed for my intended career — without the physical and mental burden of having to work multiple jobs."
Nigel Becker
Fourth-year triple major: communications, political science and history
"Scholarships have empowered me to focus on my studies to the greatest degree possible and to lean into my many interests as they grew from classes to minors to majors. They’ve also enabled my involvement in the campus community and extracurriculars like Law & Society Scholars and The PRactice."
McKenna Hensley
Master of Health Administration candidate
"Scholarships have enabled me to complete my undergraduate and graduate education without worrying how I’m going to pay from semester to semester. They’ve allowed me to joyfully pursue my chosen academic endeavors and solidify my passion for serving others in the health care space. I’m committed to being a worthwhile investment as I continue to serve other students and my community."
Sophia Wood
Third-year English major, Mansfield Campus
"I can take a deep breath each semester, knowing I don’t have to worry about loans after graduation. Because of this, I have more freedom to focus on my academics, get involved on campus and pursue work experiences related to my major — like being a writing tutor and a student communications assistant — that will benefit my career post-graduation."
