HB793

Ohio HB793 establishes a merit-based scholarship for top high school graduates to cover the cost of attendance at institutions of higher education.

Ohio HB793 creates a scholarship program for high-achieving high school students who are in the top five percent of their graduating class. Eligible students can receive up to $5,000 per academic year to cover the cost of attendance at qualifying institutions of higher education. The bill requires institutions to report the cost of attendance annually and mandates that the Chancellor maintain a public web page with the cost of attendance and scholarship definitions. The scholarship aims to keep top students in Ohio for their higher education, contributing to the state's economy.
