The Ohio Department of Higher Education is excited to announce that the 2025 Choose Ohio First (COF) Scholar Showcase will take place on Wednesday, April 2, 2025, at the Ohio Statehouse in Columbus. This annual event celebrates the COF program and its impact across Ohio.

Students whose poster submissions are selected for the Showcase will have the opportunity to highlight their Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) programs and accomplishments during the event.

COF scholars at Ohio State will attend and present at this event. The Ohio House of Science and Engineering is looking forward to supporting COF scholars who represent our institution and making the 2025 Showcase a success!
