Application Deadline Nears for OOIDA Mary Johnston Scholarship

Attention OOIDA Members: Time is running out to apply for the annual OOIDA Mary Johnston Scholarship! Since 1998, this program has made a meaningful impact by awarding nearly $500,000 to support higher education for students connected to OOIDA members.

What Is the OOIDA Mary Johnston Scholarship?

If you’re an OOIDA member with children, grandchildren, or legal dependents pursuing higher education, this scholarship is designed for them. Whether they’re starting college or working toward another educational goal, these funds can make a real difference in helping them achieve success.

Every year, five students are selected to receive scholarships. One standout recipient earns $2,000 annually, while four others are awarded $1,000 each year. These scholarships can be renewed for up to four years and used for tuition or other education-related expenses.

How to Apply

Getting started is simple: download the application and cover letter from the OOIDA website. But don’t wait—all materials must be submitted by February 1. This deadline is firm, so be sure to get everything in on time! A Scholarship Advisory Committee reviews all submissions anonymously to ensure a fair and impartial selection process.
