    As part of Ohio Community College Month, the state's top students have been selected to win scholarships recognizing their academic excellence, leadership, and community service.

On behalf of Southern State, we could not be more proud to have these fine individuals affiliated with our college. I am pleased to see them rewarded and honored for their academic commitment and personal discipline."

    These top-performing students were nominated by SSCC faculty and staff to receive the scholarships, which will assist in transferring to universities to complete their bachelor's degree requirements. The All-Ohio Academic Team also includes high-achieving students who are planning to move directly into the workforce.
