We have found 18 scholarships limited to students in Ashland County, from 8 local sponsors. 11 of them are tied to a school district, so the high school your student attends matters here. We keep searching and add new local scholarships as we find them, so this number grows.
3 of the 18, picked for size and for a deadline you can plan around. The other 15, with every rule, deadline and what each one asks for, are on your student's board.
Each sponsor counted once, by kind. A community foundation often runs dozens of separate funds through one application, so it can be one sponsor with many scholarships.

Ashland City School District has 11 scholarships only its own students can apply for. If your student goes to school there, the board asks which one and adds them.
None of these have a posted date yet; many local sponsors publish the next round only a few weeks before it closes. Across the 2,211 local scholarships we track nationwide that do post a date, most fall in February and March. The time to get ready is the fall before.
That is about 3 times as many as the typical Ohio county, which has 7, and ranks 21st of Ohio's 88 counties. On top of the local list, Ohio students can look at 40 state scholarships and grants limited to the state but not to one county, and the national ones. Across Ohio we have found 837 local scholarships in 88 counties. See every Ohio county.
All 7 counties that border Ashland County have local scholarships in our catalog too. Some sponsors cover several counties, and a student who lives in one county and goes to school in another can sometimes apply on both sides.
A public four-year college in Ohio averaged $10,922 in tuition and fees and $13,500 for a dorm and meals in 2022-23, about $24,422 a year before any aid, more than the national public average of $22,389. That is the newest federal figure published for every state, so today's prices run higher. The homepage works out what is left after Ohio's own state aid for your student's grades and scores, college by college.

The full list, with each one's rules and deadlines, is the product. We read each one from the sponsor's own page and recheck it on a schedule, and that work is what the $149 board pays for. The 3 above show the list is real; the board shows which of the 18 your student fits.
No. Most local scholarships add their own rules on top of where you live: one high school, a GPA floor, a planned major, a parent who is a member or a customer. The board asks about those once and shows the ones your student fits, with what each one still asks you to check.
Counted from our catalog on November 2, 2026. We add new local scholarships every week, so the numbers here usually go up.
Counts, amounts and deadline months come from each sponsor's own published rules and can change without notice. Totals add one winner of each scholarship; sponsors that do not publish an amount are not counted in the dollar total. A deadline month is from the most recent cycle we could find. College prices are estimates to plan with, not a quote. Confirm anything you act on with the sponsor or the college.
