OSUE & CollegeAdvantage Partner

The Ohio State University Extension’s Expanded Food & Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) has partnered with the State of Ohio’s CollegeAdvantage program administered by the Ohio Tuition Trust Authority .  EFNEP provides free workshops in Stark, Mahoning, Portage and Summit County discussing making healthier food choices, food safety, stretching food dollars and increasing physical activity.  Participants engage in an interactive learning experience that includes a food tasting and a free lesson- related item to take home. 

As of January 1, 2012, the first 40 EFNEP graduates will receive a $25.00 scholarship from the CollegeAdvantage program.  This partnership will allow 40 local EFNEP graduates to begin saving for their child’s education.      The scholarships will begin the process of investing in the child’s future educational goals.  Once the account is opened, parents and others can contribute to the account while benefiting from a state income tax savings. 

This is an opportunity for EFNEP participants to meet their nutritional and food needs of their children now, while beginning to meet their education needs in the future.  For more information about participating in an EFNEP program call Yvette Graham (330) 830-7700 Ext. 117 or www.stark.osu.edu.  For more information about College Advantage call Candice McDonald             (330) 537-2511 or visit www.collegeadvantage.com.
