Summary

The bill forces all Ohio colleges and universities to annually submit the cost of attendance for resident undergraduates and have the chancellor publish these figures online. It also establishes a Governor’s Merit Scholarship that gives $5,000 per year to students in the top 5% of their high‑school class, up to four years, with safeguards so schools cannot shift costs onto the program. The measure aims to increase transparency and keep high‑achieving students in‑state.
