The OSCA Grant Program provides $500 grants (maximum award amount) 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.

Please note the following exclusions to the grant program:

• Proposals including, but not limited to requests such as child care services, food, transportation, consumable office supplies or personal technology will not be considered. OSCA is looking to fund sustainable counseling programs with the ASCA Model in mind.
