The Western Ohio Educational Foundation (WOEF) was organized in 1962 in response
to a growing desire for residents of the region to have access to higher education.
For more than four decades, the WOEF Board has remained strongly committed to
the success of the Lake Campus. While continuing to serve in its role as citizen
advisors, the WOEF Board also supports special projects that more immediately
benefit the needs of students. Governed by a 25-member board of community leaders,
WOEF provided 162 awards to 112 students totaling $236,121 in scholarship funds for the 2009-2010 academic year (as of 9/11/09). Since 1995, this organization has awarded more than $2 million
for this purpose. To be eligible for assistance through WOEF scholarships, a
student must be enrolled at the Lake Campus.
