Scholarships for Incoming Students

When you apply for admission to Ohio University and the Russ College of Engineering and Technology, your application will automatically be considered for scholarships. This means there is not a separate scholarship application. 

The transformational $124 million estate gift in 2008 from our namesakes, Fritz, B.S.E.E. ’42, H.O.N. ’75, and Dolores Russ, created several unique opportunities, including the Russ Vision Scholarship, which is available to select students.
