Other Scholarship and Grant Opportunities
Scholarship and grant opportunities are often available from a variety of sources and students are encouraged to seek out these opportunities to help finance their education. Federal law requires that students notify the College of all financial awards made available to them. Award amounts are incorporated into a need-based financial aid package for students with financial need. Students not receiving need-based aid will receive a direct credit against tuition and mandatory fees.
Ohio Academic Scholarship
The Ohio Academic Scholarship Program provides competitive awards to the state's most academically outstanding high school graduates who enroll for full-time undergraduate study in Ohio institutions of higher education. Students must meet eligibility requirements as determined through GPA and scores from the ACT assessment exam. The amount of the award is determined annually by the State of Ohio.
Robert C. Byrd Scholarship
The Robert C. Byrd Scholarship is a federally-supported merit-based scholarship program that awards $1,500 per year scholarships to selected students from each state who demonstrate outstanding academic achievement in high school. Please contact the appropriate agency in your state for more detailed information on eligibility and application procedures. Ohio residents may link directly to information on this program provided by the Ohio Board of Regents.Private Scholarships (Outside Awards)
All students are required to notify the Office of Financial Aid of any grant, scholarship or other awards that they have received from a source other than Kenyon College. By law, the College MUST reduce any need-based awards proportionately, beginning first with the self help components (loans and employment) of the financial aid package. Reducing self-help ultimately helps students by reducing the amount that must be earned on campus or repaid at a later date.
