Each year, OHP graduates are excited about the next steps in their career journey and ready to make an impact in the world. However, many struggle with the inevitable costs associated with starting out on their own. To combat this, Ohio Hi-Point has started the A.S.P.I.R.E. Champions Fund, which provides scholarships to OHP graduates who need financial assistance to be career-ready. These scholarships are made possible through the generous donations of local businesses and individuals. The following students applied for career tools to jump-start their careers.
