Choose Ohio First (“COF”) is part of a strategic effort to deepen Ohio’s economic strength by developing talent in Science, including health professions, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields and increase the number of STEM teachers through the completion of post-secondary degrees and certificates.

The FY25 funding round will award funds to Ohio’s universities and colleges for Choose Ohio First scholarship programs that support students in academic programs developed by Ohio’s two-year and four-year, public and private colleges and universities, along with their business partners. COF scholarship programs recruit and retain students in STEM and STEM Education fields by providing scholarship funds and connecting students to work-based learning experiences and careers in STEM fields.
