Scholarships

The Suncoast Alumni Club Scholarship fund has been established through the hard work of our club members, the generosity of our donors and the many Buckeye fans and alumni. Our club is proud to provide scholarships to students in the club area, accepted at Ohio State and are committed to attend. Students from the club area may be awarded scholarship money based on the following criteria:

Preferably be admitted to the University.
Record of participation in school, community, extracurricular activities, and academic merit.

Quality of answers to several essay questions.
And possibly, a personal interview with our local Scholarship Committee.

2022-23 Scholarship Winners

For the 2022-2023 academic year, our scholarship recipients are Bethany Schneider, Sarah Munger, Asa Fitzpatrick, Rebecca Kard, Zachary E. Hahn and Griffin Shockley. Congratulations to the Suncoast Alumni Club 2022 scholarship recipients. Each of the six scholarship recipients for 2022-2023 will be receiving $4,000 from the Suncoast Alumni Club to continue their education at The Ohio State University. We are very proud of each of these very qualified students representing the Tampa Bay area.

We asked each scholarship recipient what they now thought of their decision to attend The Ohio State University. Each of them strongly agreed that it was the best decision and think the university, the campus and the people are great!
