Should Ohio pay graduates to stay?
Ohio Senate Republicans, this week, introduced a bill to provide incentive for Ohio college students to stay in or return to the state after graduation.
Senate Bill 5 would allow Ohio residents graduating from colleges in-state or out-of-state to enter a lottery that would award 300 applicants downpayment assistance between $2,500 and $10,000 based on degree level.
Winners would have one year to use the award and must stay in the state for five years.
Proponents of the bill say it would stem the state’s brain drain and prop up the housing market.
