-
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the only financial aid application needed. It should be submitted at least twelve (12) weeks before your first quarter to have the funds available when you begin classes. Reminder: The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is available for you to apply for aid.

You will be eligible for some type of Federal aid regardless of your income. The Ohio State University participates in State and Federal grant and loan programs, and has institutional scholarship funds available.

The admission process is interrelated with the financial aid process. Please complete all requirements for admission as quickly as possible, including submission of all academic transcripts of high schools and colleges attended to the Admission office.
Our staff looks forward to serving you and is here to assist you in financing your education. We welcome your questions.
