The committee, who will be reviewing the essay, shall be composed of individuals who are employed outside the Ohio Institute of Allied Health.

Essays must be typewritten in no more than 550 and no less than 450 words.
Correct spelling and grammar is included in the evaluation process.

  • 1. Why did you choose the program in which you have enrolled?
  • 2. Why do you feel that you deserve this grant?

Essays will be reviewed by a scholarship/grant committee and in the case of a tie applicants will be contacted for an interview to determine final awardees. Decisions of the grant committee are final. The committee has the ability to issue 3 grants per each new quarter. Grant applications and essays will not be accepted after a student begins the final quarter of the program in which they are enrolled.
