A philanthropist announced Wednesday that he will pay for the college education of a graduating class of high school seniors in Ohio.

A donor has gifted all graduates of an Ohio high school a free college education—paying for everything from tuition to room and board.

The announcement caught 108 Scott High School seniors by surprise on Wednesday morning. Unlike countless others across the country, they won't have to struggle under mounting debt in order to pay for a college education.

Scott High School's graduating class woke up to Thursday as normal, but went to bed knowing their future will be clearer and college would be paid for.

As Reported by The Blade, TPS announced this morning that a donor know as H.O.P.E. Toledo will be funding the Scott High School class of 2020 (and one parent/guardian) to attending a college or trade school.
