Overview

The Columbus Foundation
In 1943, during the darkness of World War II, a group of passionate citizens, led by Columbus businessman Harrison M. Sayre, envisioned a way to improve the well-being of the community and the quality of life in central Ohio. With little more than this sound idea and faith, The Columbus Foundation was established.
The scholarship honors the memory of James (Jay) Franklin Cash by awarding scholarships to support students attending the Columbus College of Art & Design or Columbus State Community College.
