When paying for college, students at Ohio public institutions of higher education have a number of ways to lower the cost of sticker price tuition. One way is to secure a financial aid package offered by the State of Ohio. Grants and scholarships are awards that directly lower students' out-of-pocket education costs, and generally do not have to be repaid. Loan repayment programs can help to repay some or all of a qualifying graduate's educational loans. The State of Ohio invests significant resources in a wide array of these programs so that immediate cost-savings are available to students at Ohio public institutions.
State financial aid is awarded based on a number of factors including: areas of study (such as teaching, science, engineering, technology, math and medicine), academic merit, financial need, military status, and more. Learn more by exploring the state programs listed below:
Individual colleges and universities provide students with institutional grants and scholarships, which lower tuition sticker price. Similar to grants from the State of Ohio, these can be based on areas of study, academic merit, financial need, and more. They vary by institution, with some requiring different obligations from grant recipients. For information on institutional grants and scholarships available at Ohio public campuses, contact the individual institution's financial aid office.
