Soldiers and Airmen that are enlisted in an approved contract with the Ohio National Guard are eligible for 100% paid tuition. In order to receive this tuition the service member must apply for the benefit and email the award letter to the proper awards office.

Step 1?– Apply for the ONGSP at?http://www.ong.ohio.gov/scholarship_index.html

• Note: You must have a working CAC card and know your PIN. The VetSuccess Office has a CAC reader if you do not have your own, they cannot solve any PIN or CAC card issues. Please ensure that those individual issues are remedied prior to applying.

Step 2?– Print off the awards letter from your email

• Note: check your Spam folder, ONGSP communication often gets picked up by Spam filters.

Step 3?– Email that letter to?s.shepherd@csuohio.edu. Giving this letter to treasury or Campus 4-1-1?should?ensure it is received properly, but to ensure direct communication you can ensure your own success by emailing it directly.
