Each year, the Ohio AgriBusiness Association Educational Trust scholarship program awards scholarship dollars to students enrolled in an agriculture-related field attending The Ohio State University and Ohio State’s Agricultural Technical Institute, Clark State Community College and Wilmington College.
The scholarship fund is supported by donations from OABA member companies, and through three primary fundraising activities: a February Bowling for Scholarships event, and Golf for Scholarships outings in both June and August.
