Mission: The mission of the newark campus development fund, a perpetual, locally controlled source of funding, is to support the newark campus of the ohio state university and central ohio technical college by funding scholarships, grants, innovative projects and capital improvements that are not provided by any other state resource.
Programs: The newark campus development fund (ncdf) acts as a conduit for generous donors to assist the growing needs of the newark campus. Established in 1983, ncdf has provided more than $31 million in scholarships, grants and capital investments. Capital projects funded include the construction of the everett reese bell tower, the j gilbert reese technology center and the john and christine warner library and student center as well as providing funds for technological equipment, parking, and campus beautification. The headcount at ohio state newark is 2,623 and 3,491 at cotc for autumn quarter 2017. These students face increasing difficulties paying for books & tuition, juggling minimum wage jobs and college courses, as well as living expenses of young families. Unrestricted scholarship and grant funds help the most to meet the needs of students. The ncdf supports projects and scholarship needs that state and federal resources cannot. In the academic year ending on june 30, 2017, the ncdf funded 601 scholarships and 9 grants.
