The OSCA Grant Program provides financial resources to active, professional members who desire to implement counseling projects that support student success. Proposals that articulate goals through data, plan a mindful intervention to address a specific concern and have a clear method of measuring the impact upon students will be considered for funding.

Visit the OSCA Awards Site to download the grant proposal. All documents are to be uploaded to the awards site. Any questions regarding the grant program can be directed to the Professional Recognition Chair at bethhinshaw@ohioschoolcounselor.org.
