All gifts made to designated Lima scholarship funds through our Buckeye Funder project will be matched dollar for dollar up to $100,000 thanks to the generosity of local champion donors, meaning that your support will help us raise $200,000 or more for scholarships!

The funA piechart: 34% is shaded red to represent the 34% of First-Generation Studentsds selected for the Lima Scholarship Challenge will support students who face additional barriers to earning a degree, including those who are first generation college students. Support can also be pledged to those students who are pursuing majors that address workforce challenges for the region such as engineering, healthcare and science and technology.A graphic with three people: the two on the outside are shaded grey while the one in the middle is red.

Regional campuses play a significant role in providing affordable access to an Ohio State degree as part of the University's land grant mission. The Lima Scholarship Challenge leverages the strength of our Buckeye family and the extended communities we serve.
