On October 9, 2008, past recipients, sponsors and friends of the Cincinnati
Scholarship Foundation (CSF) gathered together at Music Hall to celebrate 90
years of the CSF helping Greater Cincinnati students reach their educational
goals. The evening’s events included the announcement of the inductees into
the CSF’s “Hall of Fame”, based upon their achievements and contributions,
chosen by a committee of the Board of Trustees. The inductees’ stories may be
read on our website at www.CincinnatiScholarshipFoundation.org.
Entertainment was provided by CSF alum Joel Greenberg and his jazz trio
and dinner was a sumptuous buffet catered by Montgomery Inn. Honorary
CSF Board Member, Channel 5 News anchor and emcee, Courtis Fuller spent
countless hours interviewing current and past recipients for a video shown
that evening, providing testimony to the CSF’s impact on those recipients’ lives.
Also that night, CSF President, Ned Hertzenberg, was acknowledged for his
twenty-five years of dedication to the community of Greater Cincinnati.

2007 - 2008 Annual Review
From the Cincinnati Scholarship Foundation President
Dear CSF Supporters:
Since 1983, I have had the pleasure of “manning the helm” of the Cincinnati Scholarship Foundation, 25 years. In those 25 years, I also
have had the pleasure of awarding 1,000’s of local students scholarships that have assisted them to complete their educations which
enabled them to join the workforce, get married, buy homes, pay taxes, and contribute back to their local community in a variety of
ways. On a regular basis, I run into these students who never forget to thank me and remark on the generosity of the Greater Cincinnati
community – something for which I am extremely proud.
During this Holiday Season, I would like to thank all of you who have made my last 25 years a truly remarkable “journey.” I have met some
amazing people - from CEO’s, to single parents; from college presidents, to high school freshmen; from grateful students to very thankful
parents – and I look forward to meeting more in the future.
However, I also would like to be able to help more students achieve their goals and join those ranks of home-owning, tax-paying,
contributing college graduates. In this past year alone, we had hundreds of qualified student applicants we were unable to assist because
of a lack of funds available for distribution. They had financial need, good grades, community service backgrounds, but simply not enough
money to continue their educations. And, while I have not heard from, nor expect to hear from, those hundreds of students I was unable to
help, perhaps you have. They may be your relatives or children of relatives, your friends or children of friends, your co-workers or children
of co-workers – and I am asking for your help in helping them.
25 years ago, the CSF had a saying of “Today’s students, our tomorrow” and they are still “our tomorrow.” Please help me make all of
our tomorrows better by making a contribution to the CSF, either by using the form in this Annual Report or by going to our website,
CincinnatiScholarshipFoundation.org. The entire Greater Cincinnati community will benefit from your generosity and thoughtfulness.
Sincerely yours,
Ned Hertzenberg
President
Journey Shared...
By Terrence Strader
I learned about the CSF program when I entered Jacobs Center Middle School in 1994 and took part in the
stipend program throughout my Hughes Center High School career. I always looked at this program as a way
to reward myself for doing well while in middle and high school. I received a stipend check that was based on
numerous factors, including grades, attendance, and awards. Therefore, the better I did in school the more I
could look forward to in each month’s stipend check. I went on to graduate from Hughes Center in 2000 as the
valedictorian of my class and continue my educational career.
I grew up in College Hill in a single parent home, with my grandparents always there to support me
as well. I was blessed to have my mother and grandparents to support me and push me throughout
my educational career.
Mrs. Coral Baker and Ms. Alisa Johnson were always there to reach out and help me in any way possible as I
went through high school, including applying for scholarships. I went on to receive numerous scholarships, including the Bill Gates Scholarship. I was fortunate enough to get through my 4 year college career without paying anything out of my pocket, with tuition & fees being about
$
40,000/year.
I attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) where I received my B.S. in Electrical Engineering with a Minor in Ethnic Studies
in 2004. While at MIT I continually gave back to the community, by participating in community service activities, tutoring, and mentoring.
Currently, I am a Power & Controls Engineer for the Procter & Gamble Company in Albany, GA. I also take on the responsibility of leading
many of the community service activities at our plant including our United Way Campaign, where this past year we raised a record amount
of money ($350,000) for the Albany community.
I work to help out in my community wherever I can. I currently work on a Boys & Girls Club Executive Board, participate in high school career
fairs, tutor, and mentor. I tutor and mentor people ranging from elementary school to college. I’ve also started a small engineering program
that aims to encourage kids to head down the engineering career path; it allows them to build small gadgets starting from a circuit board and
have fun. This is similar to many programs I grew up taking part in and which clearly guided me into my engineering career field.
I will never forget where I came from, struggles I had to overcome, and the people who were there to help me. The Cincinnati Scholarship
Foundation Program helped to initially guide me through my road to success; I am very thankful for the stipend program and all of the
wonderful people that make up the CSF office. I’ll continually look to give back, passing on the torch, so that the next person can see the
bright light of being successful in their near future. Thank you!

2007-2008 Highlights
For the 2007-2008 school year many important changes to the High School Scholarship Program
(HSSP) were implemented. Students are now required to carry a minimum of a 2.5 GPA to earn a monthly
stipend and stipends are now based on academic achievement. Tutoring is also now mandatory for
students receiving failing grades. These changes encourage students to work harder in school and to
achieve their personal best. Additional information about the 2007-2008 school year is listed below.
• 242 students from 35 Cincinnati Public middle & high schools participated in the High School Scholarship Program
• Over $72,000 was awarded to the outstanding participants
• The average GPA was 2.96 and the average monthly stipend was $35
• Average number of days absent from school was only 2.1
• Twelve college access workshops were conducted
• Campus tours were taken of Central State University, University of Cincinnati, Wilberforce University,
and Wittenberg University
• 100% of the seniors participating in the HSSP report they will attend college during the 2008-2009 school year
The Students Tell All...
• The program was helpful because it taught me a lot of things about college that I will need to know.
• It has encouraged me to do well in school by explaining the advantage of going to school and the consequences of not attending school.
• The program was helpful by giving me information about different colleges, scholarships, financial aid and more.
AW A R D
• I like that students can come to the office for tutoring and it’s a place to study or do homework.
CEO
• The HSSP encouraged me to maintain good grades and work harder in school.
