The OGA program guarantees the top 10% of each graduating high school class undergraduate admission to every Ohio public college and university, as well as participating Ohio private colleges and universities.

The Governor’s Merit Scholarship provides an award of up to $5,000 each academic year for up to four years. The GMS is applicable to eligible expenses included within the IHE’s published cost of attendance and may be refundable to the student. If an IHE does not have a published cost of attendance, eligible expenses will be capped at tuition and student fees.
The GMS award is renewable for up to the equivalent of four years of full-time instruction at a qualifying IHE. Renewal eligibility is based upon a student meeting satisfactory academic progress, which is defined as maintaining a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or above, completing a minimum of 20 credit hours/year, and demonstrating appropriate progress toward earning a degree.
Please note that all state financial aid programs are conditional upon adequacy of appropriations from the Ohio general assembly.
