Direct Admission Program
The Direct Admission Program enables participating colleges and universities to proactively offer admission to eligible students from participating high schools based on data the high school already has, such as grade point average (GPA), and/or standardized test scores. If a student meets a college’s requirements, they will receive an admission offer without even having to apply.

Further, the OGA program guarantees the top 5% of each high school graduating class admission to the main campus of every state college and university and participating Ohio private colleges and universities.
Governor’s Merit Scholarship
Governor’s Merit Scholarships are available to students that are in the top 5% of their class and provides $5,000 per year in financial assistance.
