The I CAN Center of Excellence, a regional college access organization, recently awarded 9 students Last Dollar Grants for the 2014-15 academic year to area students fund their future education.
Last Dollar Grants are funded through the cooperative efforts of our partner institutions Columbus State Community College, Marion Technical College, Ohio Wesleyan University, Otterbein University, and The Ohio State University at Marion. Students attending schools that are not partnered with I CAN Center of Excellence may apply for limited funding through an endowment with Marion Community Foundation.
Those interested in learning more about Last Dollar Grants or applying are encouraged to visit us on the web at: icancenter.org or call Julie McGinnis at 740-725-6174.
