Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News

A new financial aid program will cover full tuition for eligible newly enrolled students from Ohio high schools at Wright State University.

To be eligible for the Take Flight Program students need a high school grade point average of 3.2 or higher and an Expected Family Contribution of $2,000 or less on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid.

The program is only available to high school students enrolling to Wright State’s Fairborn campus for fall 2022.

“In its commitment to transform the lives of the students and communities it serves, Wright State has created the Take Flight program to provide needed financial support to academically accomplished students,” said President Sue Edwards. “This new financial aid program is part of Wright State’s continuing efforts to support our students and help them meet their goals.”

Students do not need to file a separate application for the program or other first-year scholarships offered by the university. They should apply to Wright State as new, first-time students by June 1. FASFA applications also should be submitted by June 1.
