Your Gifts, Their Success

Scholarships support student excellence and access. They keep the best and brightest in Cincinnati, they encourage exploration of growing fields of study, and they make the dream of college a reality for thousands of our students.

These are the learners who will become the leaders. These are the generational trailblazers, big-picture problem-solvers and global innovators our world needs—and you can help them get there.

Through the Next, Now campaign, donors have already created 759 new scholarship funds, including new scholarships like Next Innovation Scholars and Marian Spencer Scholars.
