Legacy Program

Throughout Ohio University's rich 200-plus year history, Bobcat roots often run deep with two, three, and even four generations from one family attending Ohio University. To honor these legacies, the Alumni Association has established a Legacy Program. This program consists of special events, scholarships, access, and discounts for legacy families, alumni and students. To identify your family as a legacy, please fill out the web form below.

To qualify for the Legacy Program, you must be a graduate of Ohio University (including all regional campuses) and have a grandparent, parent, or legal guardian who also graduated from Ohio University, or have a child who currently attends Ohio University. All data will be verified.
