Russ College of Engineering General Scholarship
The Current-Use Scholarship Program Doubles the Impact of Your Gift!

Your gift to The Russ College of Engineering and Technology’s General Scholarship Fund provides timely scholarship support for undergraduate students.

At the Russ College of Engineering and Technology our students, faculty and staff work together to apply our talents and knowledge to improve the human condition and make a sustainable mark on the world.

For more than 130 years, The Russ College has been preparing educators, practitioners, and human service professionals to succeed after graduation. With more than 20 degree programs, we are poised to provide the nation’s best transformative learning experience. This ultimate learning experience depends on a strong and vibrant scholarship endowment.

All gifts matched up to $2,500!

Dave '69 and Cindy Iden are providing a 1:1 match, up to $2,500, for gifts designated for the Russ College of Engineering and Technology General Scholarship Endowment. A Chemical Engineering alumnus, Dave spent the last part of his career as President and CEO of Nease Corporation. He is a current member of the Russ College of Engineering and Technology’s Board of Visitors. Cindy spent her career as a healthcare worker and she now spends her time volunteering in her community. Both Dave and Cindy believe in supporting education and are thrilled to help us reach our Giving Day goal by providing these matching funds.

 

  • All gifts to this current-use fund are eligible for a dollar-for-dollar match through June 30, 2021, as part of Ohio University’s Current-Use Scholarship Program.
  • The program doubles the impact of gifts made to eligible current-use scholarships by amplifying every dollar of donor funds with $1 in funds from the University’s unrestricted financial aid budget.
  • This will provide immediate financial help to undergraduate students in the OHIO community. This means your $25 becomes $50, and your $500 becomes $1,000.

Give today to provide scholarship support that allows Ohio University and the Russ College to attract and retain the best students that aspire to create for good.
