It\u2019s a goal threatened last year when divorce eliminated over half of Chaffin\u2019s income. It\u2019s a goal put back on track, thanks to donor-funded scholarships that help Ohio University Southern students achieve what at times has felt unachievable.<\/p>\n<p>In fiscal year 2018, donors contributed nearly $266,000 to scholarships that support students on OHIO\u2019s regional campuses.<\/p>\n<p>Chaffin is the recipient of the Clifford E. and Jean Peters Allen Scholarship and the Ironton Child Welfare Club Scholarship. Both were established to help students wanting to pursue a higher education afford that opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf it wasn\u2019t for the scholarships I received this year, it would have been rough to make my last year of nursing school happen,\u201d Chaffin says. \u201cFinancially, I wouldn\u2019t have been able to get all the required items for my program to graduate. \u2026 These scholarships really mean the world to me and my family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"Button\" href=\"https:\/\/ohiofoundationreport.org\/fiscal-2018#OHIOScholars\">Home<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cMy little ones will see their mommy walk across that stage and into a better life for all of us.
