Members from the following lodges are eligible to apply for this scholarship grant: 25, 63, 101, 110, 146, 150, 169, 219, 226 and 255. Through the generous donations to the Ohio KSKJ Lodges Scholarship Fund, funds have been raised to continue the scholarship program.

Frances and Jane S. Lausche Foundation Grants

A generous donation of $3,000 was received by the Frances and Jane S. Lausche Foundation. The Lausche Foundation will fund grants in the following categories:

  • $1,000 for one student who will be or is attending a private tuition paying high school;
  • $1,000 for one student who will be or is attending an accredited college or university (full-time student);
  • $1,000 grant for one student who is attending an accredited graduate school.

The grants from the Lausche Foundation are one-time awards. If you are a past recipient of this grant, you are ineligible to apply for the grant if it is the same category this year.

The applicant must be a member of the KSKJ for at least two years at the time of application, Oct. 9.

The Ohio Federation can cancel this program if funding is not available.

The Ohio Federation will also give out a few $250 scholarships to students who are attending a private tuition paying high school.

Nielsen Foundation Grants

The Ohio Federation of KSKJ Lodges has received a large grant from the Nielsen Foundation. A number of scholarship grants will be awarded by the chairperson of the Nielsen Foundation to students who will be or are attending an accredited college or university (full-time student). The applicant must be a member of KSKJ for at least two years at the time of application, Oct. 9. The Ohio Federation can cancel this program if funding is not available.

The Nielsen Foundation is designed to stimulate academic or artistic excellence by awarding grants to talented applicants who wish to pursue endeavors that further develop their talent. American students of Slovenian descent are eligible. Awards are made on the strength of an applicant’s talent and proposed academic or artistic endeavor as determined by the Talent Search Committee of the Foundation and the chairperson, John Gasiewski.

All students who applied for a National KSKJ College/University or High School Scholarship, a Financial Aid Award, or the KSKJ Frances & Jane Lausche Graduate School Scholarship this year will be eligible and will not have to submit another application for the Ohio Federation Scholarship grants. If for any reason you did not submit a required document(s) for the national programs listed above, you must submit the document(s) to the Ohio Federation chairperson of the Scholarship Committee in order to be eligible to receive an Ohio Federation Grant .

All other students can request an application and the rules and guidelines for the Ohio Federation Scholarship Grant Program by sending me a letter requesting information and which scholarship grant you are applying for to the following address:
