Five are number 1 in their classes. Their average grade point is 3.62 and average ACT score is 27.6, even though we did not just choose the highest in each category for these exceptional students! They each will receive $600 towards their tuition at either OSU-Lima or Columbus. This will be an outlay of $12,000. In 1997, we gave out one for $500 to a student we never even met.
