The University predicts that even more scholarships will be awarded for 2004-2005.

COLUMBUS, OHIO - Ohio Dominican University has awarded a record number of scholarships for the 2003-2004 school year. The university attributes the increase in part to the record number of students who are currently enrolled at ODU, and successful fundraising efforts.

Ohio Dominican awarded more than $3.5 million in scholarships for the Fall 2003 and Spring 2004 semesters, with more than 85 percent of ODU students receiving some type of financial aid.
