Ohio university scholarships?

Paying for College
1

<p>OU is my first choice of school but I was wondering if they give out a decent amount of money to out of state students. I live in PA.</p>

<p>Have you checked their website? Have you contacted their scholarship office? </p>

<p>What is your situation? Do you need financial aid and would you qualify? The school won’t be able to meet OOS students’ FA needs. Do you know what your family’s EFC is?</p>

<p>What are your stats?</p>

<p>Please note that the scholarships are not automatic by stats - “need” is also an issue. Eligibility is based on a sliding scale of academic merit, as determined by g.p.a. and either the ACT composite or SAT math and critical reading scores (writing subscore not included for ACT or SAT); and financial need, as determined by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).</p>

<p>What other schools are you applying to and what are your stats?</p>

<p>Have you already applied? … because the deadline was Dec 1. (Go check their website, the answers on their merit aid are all listed there). </p>

<p>"To be considered for the full range of scholarships, your application for admission and all supporting materials (including official ACT/SAT test scores with writing) must be received by December 1, 2009. Read more about scholarship deadlines. "</p>

<p>R12…are you sure that the app needs to be in by Dec 1st? I’m not seeing that on their website. I’m seeing Feb 1st for incoming freshmen being considered for scholarships. But, maybe I’m not seeing the right thing.</p>

<p>The problem I’m seeing is that their merit scholarships are tied to “need.” Therefore, if the OP is a typical middle/upper middle class kid who is looking for merit money because his family can’t afford their EFC, he may not get awarded much, if anything.</p>

<p>The Gateway Award Program is available to first-time freshmen students. Information about the Gateway Award Program can be found at <a href=“http://www.ohio.edu/admissions/gateway/[/url]”>http://www.ohio.edu/admissions/gateway/&lt;/a&gt;. </p>

<p>The minimum requirements do not apply to a number of endowed or restricted scholarships. In addition, students entering the College of Fine Arts must contact the appropriate Fine Arts Scholarship Committee to schedule an audition or portfolio review if necessary. </p>

<p>You will automatically be considered for freshman scholarships by virtue of applying for admission via the freshman application for admission. Because many scholarships also require verification of financial need, all scholarship applicants are strongly encouraged to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by February 15th. In addition, those interested in freshman scholarships are required to: </p>

<p>furnish valid ACT/SAT scores to the Office of Admissions,
have a high school transcript filed with the Office of Admissions, and
be admitted to Ohio University.
All of these requirements have to be completed no later than February 1st. </p>
