Coshocton Foundation announces scholarships for adults
The Coshocton Foundation announced its 2025 scholarships for adult, non-traditional students.
Foundation executive director Bob Pell explained that the Coshocton Foundation awards more than 100 scholarships each year, most of which are designated for graduating high school seniors. In recent years, more adults are returning to college, and many have expressed a need for financial help. Pell is excited that the Coshocton Foundation is again offering the $1,000 George Leach Memorial Scholarship to those who are honorably discharged veterans or those who are currently serving on active duty, the Reserves or National Guard.
The foundation partners with COTC and the Coshocton Promise program through the Grace and Clarence Miller Scholarship Fund. Once accepted to COTC, no additional application is required, but the FAFSA must be completed and income and residency guidelines apply. In addition, since 2016 the $2,000 one-time Jones Metal Products Company Adult Legacy Scholarship is also directed to a student attending COTC’s Coshocton Campus. In addition, for 2025 the following are offered to non-traditional students (21 or older) regardless of school attended:
- Ruby S. Hawthorne Memorial Adult Scholarship – $1,000 one-time award with no restriction on the student’s school or major
- Ruth Schooler Memorial Adult Scholarship – $1,000 one-time for an individual going into the field of business or related areas
- Beulah Brownfield Memorial Adult Scholarship – $1,000 one-time regardless of school or major
- Kenneth Berry Memorial Adult Scholarship – $1,000 (renewable) was awarded in 2024 and will not be offered in 2025.
