Vision: The GED Scholars Initiative is the first of its kind in the nation. It was created by the Ohio Literacy Resource Center to address the specific needs of students who earn their GED and attend Kent State University. The GED Scholars Initiative works in collaboration with other programs and offices on campus to provide resources to GED students.
