Russell A. and Sophia Jean Hall Scholarship
Scholarship Sponsored by Columbus Foundation
In 2003, the Russell A. and Sophia Jean Hall Scholarship was founded. Russell and Jean, both Ohio State alumni, felt a deep sense of gratitude for their own educational opportunities. They decided to establish this scholarship as a means to give back and assist students in need who are pursuing their education. They understood the importance of all forms of education and the financial burden it can impose. Therefore, they designed this scholarship to aid students who are working towards a degree at any state-funded college, university, vocational, or technical school in Ohio.
