In 2016, OSBA created the OSBA Scholarship Foundation to accept donations for and disburse funds from the five OSBA scholarships. The five scholarships are:
- Bonnie Eddy Educational Supply and Book Grant (BEES-BG) - Northwest Region
- Leo Lucas Scholarship - OSBA Black Caucus
- Lester C. Marrison Teacher Education Book Grant - Northeast Region
- Paul D. Mock Memorial Book Grant - Southeast Region
- Ronald J. Diver Memorial Scholarship - Southwest Region
Each has a scholarship committee, responsible for setting operating procedures for the committee, recommending and reviewing requirements for awards, reviewing applications and recommending award recipients, and engaging in fundraising activities for the scholarships and grants.
Any individual, including any scholarship committee member, who is involved in fundraising activities for any OSBA scholarship is required to review a webinar on fundraising each year. Click to view the webinar.
After you have viewed this webinar, please send a viewing confirmation email to the chair of your committee and to Jennifer Hardin (jhardin@ohioschoolboards.org).
If you have any questions about the duties or authority of the scholarship committee or about fundraising for your scholarship or grant, please contact Jennifer Hardin at jhardin@ohioschoolboards.org or (614) 635-1897. Questions will be added to an FAQ document available on this webpage as they arise.
