Ohio State University is launching an initiative giving undergraduates the chance to graduate debt-free from a four-year degree, the school’s president announced Friday.

The initiative, called Scarlet & Gray Advantage, will begin with a small pilot in the autumn semester of 2022, with 125 low- and middle-income first-year students. Ohioans and U.S. non-residents can apply for the program.
