Title	Ohio University Scholarship Announcements
Subject	Education Military Ohio Universities and colleges Scholarships
Place	Athens (Ohio) Athens County (Ohio)
Description	Two documents announce free tuition and scholarships for Ohio residents wishing to attend Ohio University. The first document, dated July 11, 1864, states that any Ohio veteran who has been disabled in service is entitled to free tuition. A second document, dated September 25, 1864, announces that one young man from each county in the state is entitled to free tuition. Each document measures 7.75 by 10 inches (19.69 by 25.4 cm). Ohio University was founded in 1804, one year after Ohio became a state. Revolutionary War veterans from New England conceived the idea for a university in 1786, when they purchased land in the Northwest Territory through the Ohio Company of Associates. The Northwest Ordinance, passed in 1787, also encouraged "schools and the means of education." Funding for a university came from revenue earned from leases in two townships in the Ohio Company Purchase. Ohio University opened in 1808 with three students. The school granted its first diplomas in 1815. Enrollment remained small and the university graduated only about 145 students in its first six decades. Its fortunes gradually began to improve late in the 19th century, particularly after it started receiving state support in the early 1880s.
