Southeast Region Education Book Grant Scholarship

Sponsored by the Southeast Region Executive Committee of the Ohio School Boards Association

The education book grant is presented to one or more high school seniors in the Southeast Region whose school district is a member of the Ohio School Boards Association (OSBA).  The Southeast Region is committed to inspiring and encouraging capable teacher education candidates to serve the youth of Ohio.  The Executive Committee of the Southeast Region sponsors this education book grant.  The Executive Committee is comprised of elected school board members throughout Southeast Ohio who are interested in providing support to high school seniors who have demonstrated an interest in teaching or working with children and are attending an accredited Ohio college or university, career-technical school or technical college.  The Southeast Region consists of the following counties: Athens, Belmont, Coshocton, Gallia, Guernsey, Hocking, Jackson, Lawrence, Meigs, Monroe, Morgan, Muskingum, Noble, Perry, Pike, Scioto, Vinton and Washington.

The education book grant will be awarded annually and each recipient, along with his or her parents, will be guests of the Southeast Region at one of its two annual Spring Conferences held in March.  Special recognition will be provided to each recipient’s districts, board members and students.  The award has been made possible by the donations of board members active in the Southeast Region and from funds raised through region workshops and fundraising activities.
