The Scioto Foundation’s University College Access Network or UCAN was launched in 2008.
It is a program that helps youth plan, prepare, and pay for college through strong partnerships
with all Scioto County, Ohio schools, the South-Central Ohio ESC, local businesses, and
donors.
The UCAN Northwest Education Endowment Scholarship is part of the UCAN program.
Northwest has over $124,000 in its endowment fund and has given away over $48,000 in
scholarships to 75 students since the start of the program.
The Scioto Foundation will be offering a $40,000 match this year. All donations to Scioto
County UCAN Funds from September 1 through August 31 will be matched. The match ratio
will depend upon the amount of donations received. It is our hope that UCAN and UCAN
related funds will reach the $4-million-dollar mark in total assets by year 2028.
If you would like to donate to this fund, go to www.sciotofoundation.org or mail a check to the
Scioto Foundation, P.O. Box 911, Portsmouth, OH 45662. You may also contact the school or
