Cincinnati State celebrates scholarships 

Students, donors honored at dinner

Cincinnati State Technical and Community College hosted a dinner Thursday  to honor scholarship recipients and say “thank you’’ to donors.

More than 200 students, family members, donors and Cincinnati State representatives attended. The event was held in the Conference Center on the third floor of the Main Building at Cincinnati State’s Clifton campus.

“This is one of my favorite events at Cincinnati State,’’ said President John Henderson. “It’s a chance not only to recognize our outstanding students, but also for them to meet some of the donors whose generosity is opening so many doors.’’

The scholarship awards recognized Thursday are generally merit-based, or reflect guidelines established by donors. Many incorporate a need-based element as well.

Cincinnati State maintains about 50 separate scholarship funds. A number of them award grants to multiple recipients.

Although Cincinnati State offers one of the most affordable options in the region’s entire system of higher education, and it has maintained a freeze on tuition since the 2006-07 school year, it is under more pressure than ever to raise scholarship funds, according to John Dwyer, chairman of the Cincinnati State Technical and Community College Foundation.
