Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

Funding

There are many funding and award opportunities for our undergraduate and graduate students including the annual The Daniel R. Barnes Undergraduate Prize and The Patrick B. Mullen Graduate Prize given out by the Center for Folklore Studies.

Community

Folklore Student Association (FSA)

Because OSU folklore students are located in many departments, FSA provides an opportunity for us to make connections across disciplines, enriching our community and facilitating discourse. All undergraduate and graduate students interested in folklore at Ohio State are invited to become members of FSA.
