Avenues of Giving to the Ohio
University-Chillicothe Campus
Annual Giving
: Individuals may make annual charitable gifts to Ohio
University-Chillicothe that support special campus projects, student
scholarships, equipment, technology, academic and athletic
programming. Cash gifts can be made via check or using VISA,
MasterCard, Discover, or American Express. Gifts may be designated
to an area of interest or may be unrestricted to support an area of
need identified by Ohio University-Chillicothe.
Endowment gifts and Scholarships:
Endowments provide permanent support for teaching and research,
student scholarships, and an abundance of other academic programs
and activities. With a minimum $15,000 commitment, an endowment can
be created that will bear your name or the name of someone you wish
to honor. Donors have two to five years to fund to the endowed
level. Distribution of funds is subject to a specific set of
guidelines formulated by the university in conjunction with the
donor. Ohio University-Chillicothe has several scholarships that
have been established: Jayne Stone Brown Theater Scholarship,
Nicholas and Roseanne Alexander Scholarship, Officer Larry Cox
Memorial, Chillicothe Education Foundation, Jimmie and Barbara
Williams.
Gifts of Personal Property:
Gifts-in-kind of personal property can be charitably gifted to Ohio
University-Chillicothe. Gifts-in-kind such as real estate, artwork,
equipment or securities must be properly appraised through the
donor’s efforts.
Planned Giving:
“The Promise Lives” Giving Pathways
The Promise Lives Campaign at Ohio University-Chillicothe is
designed to address Ohio University-Chillicothe’s student growth and
embrace the economic training demands of this decade.
Scholarships: The Chillicothe
Campus fills a unique role in terms of offering access to a quality
Ohio University education. In this way, the Chillicothe campus
continues to serve as a gateway to higher education and the
transformational impact on the quality of life for residents of the
region. For many of our students, scholarship assistance is crucial
to turning the key that unlocks the barriers to reaching their
career goals.
Establishing endowed scholarships allow learners to focus on their
academic pursuits by alleviating many financial burdens that can
impede their college careers. Bright, ambitious individuals of the
Ross County Region can continue to pursue their ambitions and
realize their potential on the Chillicothe Campus. Individuals who
establish endowments can further their passion for a particular
program and ensure there are always qualified people in the
employment pipeline.
Facilities:
Academic Success Expansion: This project ties together
academic and campus life in a way that enriches the student
experience on the Chillicothe Campus. The Stevenson Center Learning
Commons has become a hub of academic activity and has helped to
foster a sense of a learning community. Technology is available for
use to produce class projects while the Quinn Library has the
resources for extensive research. The expansion will include an
Academic Success Center to support academic programing to aid
students in further developing math, science and written composition
skills and a conference area to listen to area experts on various
topics. The conference room would allow community guest speakers to
broaden knowledge about current topics both for interested students
as well as residents of the community.
The Chillicothe Campus’ recent enrollment growth has caused a need
for increased academic and student services affairs programming. The
proposed project will serve as a link between the Learning Commons
in the Stevenson Center and the academic and student services
resources in Bennett Hall, thereby bridging, both figuratively and
literally, these two vital components of a well-rounded student
experience.
The expansion will include an additional technology lab needed for
students to complete class assignments and research projects. The
Academic Success Expansion will maintain a large area for ongoing
academic tutoring as well as support for students seeking new
avenues to explore research topics.
Entrepreneurship and Technology Center: This 8,200
square-foot addition supports the campus mission of serving its
students and supporting the region’s economic development endeavors.
The Center provides space for both the popular Law Enforcement
Technology program and classes for the inspiring entrepreneur.
Simulation labs will provide students with modern facilities to
receive critical hands-on training for important careers in the
field of law enforcement. The entrepreneurship program will allow OU-C
students and area residents to receive the instruction and support
they need to develop critical business skills to take their ideas
from concept to reality.
