The Scarlet & Gray Advantage

The School of Earth Sciences is thrilled to share a new opportunity to help eliminate undergraduate student debt for future generations of college students. The Scarlet & Gray Advantage is a new program that aims to allow students to earn their bachelor’s degree without financial burdens. Beginning as a small pilot program in autumn 2022, the program will build upon itself over the next decade to encompass all eligible undergraduate students.

Ohio State’s goal is to raise at least $800 million to expand student scholarships. The university and lead donors have created a matching program that will double up to $50 million in private donations of $100,000 or more. This match program will establish new endowments as well as support existing scholarships. Your support to the Scarlet & Gray Advantage will have the impact to change lives within the School of Earth Sciences and beyond. By supporting student scholarships that will remove debt restrictions, you will enable students to focus on what matters most—their education and contributions to their fields. Questions?
