University of Cincinnati offers free education to fallen officer’s three children

CINCINNATI — The University of Cincinnati will give the three children of fallen Cincinnati police officer Sonny Kim a free education if they choose to attend the college.

“As a small token of gratitude to Officer Sonny Kim, UC will cover full undergraduate tuition for his 3 sons should they matriculate at UC,” UC President Santa J. Ono tweeted Monday morning.

The average cost for a four-year degree at UC is about $50,000, Ono said.

Ono said UC’s offer goes beyond what is covered by an Ohio law that states “the child of a public service officer killed in the line of duty” and “who is admitted to any state university or college” “shall not be required to pay any tuition or any student fee for up to four academic years of education, which shall be at the undergraduate level.”

“Our scholarship to the Kim children we will be on top of any support from the Ohio Safety Officers fund,” he said. “They can use it for room and board, books and study abroad.”
