COLUMBUS – Ohio House Representative Peter Beck (R- Mason) today announced that more than 275 scholarship opportunities are now available to graduating high school seniors seeking to attend a career college or school in Ohio.

“These scholarships are a great way for high school seniors to gain vital postsecondary experience,” Beck said. “Providing Ohio’s young people with ample opportunities to succeed in their educations and careers is a top priority for me. I’m proud to share information about these valuable scholarships with the students of the 67^th Ohio House District.”

The funds are an opportunity to provide students with the education and training necessary to obtain a job in an Ohio business or industry. Available scholarships may cover one-half tuition or specific amounts.
