Financial Aid & Scholarships

Although priority deadlines have passed for the 2021-2022 academic year, there are still opportunities available for financial aid and scholarships.

  1. Complete and submit the 2021-2022 FAFSA. Applications are accepted and processed after the deadline, on a funds available basis.  Federal school code: 003090 (Ohio State University – all campuses)
  2. Apply at ScholarshipUniverse and explore external scholarship opportunities. Internal scholarships have expired.  As you complete the questions, external scholarships that fit your criteria will populate for you to further complete and submit.
