These grants are not intended to cover all college costs nor are they intended to meet the total unmet need of participating students. Ohio Instructional Grants serve is one source of student assistance and should be combined with available funds from other financial aid programs including Basic Grants, Educational Opportunity Grants, Work-Study, student loans and scholarships. The major objective of the Ohio Instructional Grant Program is to assist in the elimination of the economic barrier which discourages many promising students in their plans to seek higher education. It is not the intent of the program to replace appropriate financial resources which are available to students to pay the cost of higher education, but rather to supplement these resources which include parental income as well as the student's own financial resources. Ohio Instructional Grants are not awarded upon the basis of scholar- ship, as such, but upon the basis of relative financial need. Grants are awarded to the average as well as the superior student. iv a INTRODUCTION Ohio Instructional Grants were made available to students enrolled during the 1973-74 academic year as freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors.

Fifty-two private colleges and universities, twelve state universities and their twenty branches, and twenty-three public two-year colleges participated in the program during the 1973-74 academic year.
