On June 4, 2020, the Board of Trustees of The Ohio State University, in accordance with the guidelines approved by the Board of Directors of The Ohio State University Foundation voted to establish The Knipp Agricultural Fund. The endowment was established by gifts from Daryl L. and Catherine R. Knipp and will benefit the University in perpetuity, per the donor's wishes. The annual distribution will provide scholarships to freshmen attending Ohio State ATI, who intend to transition to the Columbus campus to pursue a four-year degree. The scholarship is renewable up to three years or completion of the degree. Preference is given to students from Sandusky County, and to those who express an interest in agricultural production, business, or an agricultural cooperative career path.
Our deep gratitude is extended to Daryl and Catherine Knipp for their generosity and dedication to supporting students at Ohio State ATI and beyond.
