Scholarship Programs for Coshocton County:
Miller Scholarship
(Scholarship Application Forms)
The Miller scholarship program provides more than $35,000 per year in
financial aid for Coshocton area residents attending the Coshocton
Campus. Named for its benefactors—long time Coshocton residents
Clarence and Grace Miller—the scholarships are intended to remove
economic barriers to education and help thousands reach their educational
goals. The result is a positive impact on the region's workforce by improving
the overall skill level of that workforce, and keeping talented students
and workers in the area.
The program targets graduating Coshocton area high school seniors, as
well as adults returning to college. At least 20 students benefit from the scholarship each year. Between
eight and twelve scholarships are awarded each quarter to students attending
Central Ohio Technical College or The Ohio State University Newark. Three students are selected from local
high schools to receive $5,000 in scholarship money to attend the college
of their choice.
