Gov. DeWine and Lt. Gov. Husted promoted their budget plan to increase higher education graduates at the Ohio Business Roundtable.

Tiberi, Ohio Business Roundtable president and CEO, said that Ohio came in last in the Midwest when comparing its funding for need-based financial aid for higher education.

DeWine said the proposed budget includes the expansion of the Ohio College Opportunity Grant. The expansion would provide a $6,000 scholarship opportunity to 15,000 additional applicants, allowing anyone within a household that makes $87,000 or less eligible, in order to accommodate the poor and working middle class.

DeWine said the more Ohio graduates the state generates, the more likely these graduates are to find jobs/internships, start families and start businesses in Ohio.
