Scholarships for Career Tech Students

Named in honor of our late friend and mentor, the Jim Pinchak Memorial Scholarship has been established to aid and honor outstanding high school students in career-technical education. A lifelong educator, Dr. Pinchak, dedicated his career to guiding and instructing students of all ages. Earning degrees from Miami and Kent State Universities and his Ph.D. from Bowling Green, Dr. Pinchak applied and shared all he knew to his colleagues and students. His professional assignments included employment as an administrator for the Ohio Department of Education, Director and Principal of the Tolles Career and Technical Center, and Clinical Associate Professor at the Ohio State University. Dr. Pinchak was a loyal, dedicated educator who touched the lives of everyone he met. The Executive Board of the Ohio Career-Technical Administrators Association (OCTA) is proud to offer scholarship opportunities in his name.

Cincinnati State students in certain degree and certificate programs in business pathways could qualify for this great scholarship which covers most all student costs at the college.

The Central and Southern Ohio HIMSS (CSOHIMSS) Chapter annually offers scholarships to students from diverse educational backgrounds who are pursuing studies in healthcare information, healthcare management systems, or related fields. These scholarships include a $1,500 award for two college students, encompassing undergraduate, graduate, or doctoral levels. A $500 award will be granted to two high school students (Junior or Senior) with an interest in these fields. Furthermore, we will award two scholarships to cover the exam fee for the Certified Professional in Healthcare Information and Management Systems (CPHIMS) certification.
