2024 Southeast Region Education Book Grant Scholarship

For seniors planning to major in education!

This book grant is awarded to high school seniors in Southeast Ohio whose school districts are members of the Southeast Region of the Ohio School Boards Association (OSBA). The Executive Committee of the Southeast Region sponsors this book grant and is committed to inspiring and encouraging teacher education candidates to serve the youth of Ohio. This group is comprised of elected school board members from Southeast Ohio who are interested in providing support to high school senior(s) 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 $500 book grant is awarded annually and the recipient, along with his or her parents, will be guests of the Southeast Region at its Spring Conferences held on March 26. Special recognition will be provided to the district(s), board members, and student(s). 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.
