About the Ohio First
Scholarship—Wright State University:
Dayton Collaborative Choose Ohio First scholarships are multi-year renewable scholarships, varying in amounts from $1,500 to $4,700 annually (amount based on a student’s full-time or part-time status). The scholarships are awarded to promising undergraduate and graduate students who are interested in pursuing a major in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, or medicine (STEMM).
The Dayton Collaborative Choose Ohio First institutions:
These higher education institutions are partnered with Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and nearly 500 representatives from government, industry, and health care:
Advising Resource Center
Not only are we working with these other institutions to provide these awards, but we are also joining together to create the Dayton Regional STEMM Advising Resource Center. This center will allow students to stay on track with their program and also provide assistance in seamless transfers from one institution to another.
For more information about the Advising Resource Center, Wright State students should contact:
Lillian Johnson, (937) 775-5750
Scholars Network
The Dayton Regional STEMM Scholars Network allows you to build a support system of like-minded students at partner institutions and establish lasting professional connections that can support you throughout your career. STEMM undergraduate and graduate students in the region will be invited to participate. COF scholarship recipients will be required to participate.

Hands-on Experience
STEMM scholars are expected to maintain a 3.0 cumulative GPA and to participate in designated "learning-by-doing" experiences (internships, co-ops, service learning/civic engagement, undergraduate research, etc.). It is the goal of the Dayton Region Collaborative to provide experiences linked to the Research Scholars Program. COF scholars across the Dayton region, for example, would have the opportunity to spend a summer or an intersession working with Research Scholars, then spend the following summer or intersession working with business and industry partners. Attractive internship and/or opportunities for clinical experiences will be available through WPAFB-AFRL, NASA Glenn, the Dayton Chamber of Commerce, Qbase, local and regional hospitals, and numerous other sites.
