Wendell and Gwendolyn Clement Scholarship
Wendell and Gwendolyn Clement, who were both educators, believed strongly that education helps students become better citizens, get higher paying jobs and that education fosters personal growth and lifelong learning.
The Clements viewed a college education as extremely important for closing the achievement and wealth gaps, especially for African-American students. The achievement gap is not only a problem for the Black community, but also affects the well-being of the entire country.
To promote the education of Black students, the Wendell and Gwendolyn Clement Scholarship will support an African-American undergraduate student at Ohio State University who has a GPA of 2.5 or higher.
