The Ohio State University - SHE Program
The Ohio State University is thrilled to introduce SHE (Summer Healthcare in Oncology), a transformative two-week virtual program designed to ignite the passion of young women in STEM, healthcare, and research. This exciting initiative, proudly partnered with the American Cancer Society and four leading cancer centers across the United States, seeks to empower high school-aged young women from historically underrepresented backgrounds in science or those residing in Appalachian Ohio counties. Dates: July 1st and July 8th through the 19th

2024-25 FAFSA Update:
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for students entering or attending college for the 2024-25 academic year has undergone many changes, been updated for 2024, and is currently having a "soft launch". The website is up and running, but will be temporarily shut down occasionally for maintenance and updates. Any student that is thinking about attending any type of education/training after high school should complete the FAFSA - technical school, trade school, community college, public university, or private university. The FAFSA is what determines your eligibility for student loans, grants, work-study, and scholarships - thus, it is VERY important that you complete and submit it. Keep in mind, all students are at least eligible for student loans! We will continue to share information and helpful resources as they are received.
