Megan Auld For me, this scholarship means more than simply drawing me closer to my educational goals. It also reminds me that even though I am setting off to a school in another state, there is always a network of alumni and fellow students back home who will be there to support me throughout my endeavors at my new home in Columbus. My experiences so far have shown me that I made the right choice in going to Ohio State, but it is always comforting to know that I have my family and friends in Chicago to fall back on. Kaila Dafforn This scholarship helped cement my decision to attend The Ohio State University, which I believe is one of the best decisions I have made. This past quarter I have learned so much; not only about physics and calculus but also about how to be an adult and balance my own life. I have had so many opportunities to be immersed in the Buckeye experience, from football games to free Kings of Leon concerts to meeting Blake Mycoskie, the founder of TOMS shoes. My professors and advisors have been very helpful in guiding my college path. I never thought that at a university this size that I would have professors that care this much. I am truly glad to be at Ohio State. GO BUCKS! Alexa Harke The Chicago Alumni Scholarship has greatly impacted me and my experience at Ohio State University. There is a huge transition from being a high school senior living at home and being a college student with financial independence. This scholarship helped aid in this transition of responsibility for my personal finances, and provided less reliance on my parents for fiscal needs. It has helped shape my financial responsibility to better prepare me for living on my own with a career, which is ultimately the goal after graduation. |
