Kenyon is proud to offer exceptional financial aid opportunities for talented first-year and transfer students that are residents of Ohio or currently enrolled in a high school in Ohio.

Ohio Promise Scholarship

All applicants from Ohio automatically qualify for this merit-based scholarship valued at $25,000 annually. 

Governor’s Merit Scholarship Match

Already receiving the $5,000 Ohio Governor's Merit Scholarship? Kenyon will match that amount, giving you a total of $35,000 toward tuition. 

Full-Tuition Scholarships

Compete for one of five prestigious full-tuition scholarships awarded annually to the top applicants from Ohio. To be considered, please submit a separate application to supplement your Kenyon application. 

Kokosing Scholarship

This scholarship for high school graduates from Knox County, Ohio, covers the difference between Kenyon's tuition and in-state public school tuition (valued at $60,000 annually).


Kenyon is dedicated to providing students with the financial assistance they require to succeed. If a student qualifies for both the Ohio Promise Scholarship and other Kenyon-funded scholarships, the scholarship with the highest value will be awarded. Kenyon remains committed to meeting 100% of demonstrated financial need for all admitted students. Any remaining unmet financial need after accounting for scholarship funding will be covered through additional aid.
