<p>I am currently a student at OCC (Ocean County College) in NewJersey. I am thinking about applying to OSU as my only out of state school. Money is a big issue with me and I am wondering if they will give me any money. I have already benn accepted into Rutgers. My major is civil engineering. My GPA is 3.7 at OCC and my Sats are 1540 and ACT 22. I am sure I would get into OSU, but how much money do you think they would give me?</p>

<p>OSU has two scholarships for oos, called national buckeye and national buckeye plus (the first offers about 4,000/year and the second 6,500/year). However, I'm pretty sure that the qualifications require an ACT of 24+.</p>

<p>OSU is notoriously bad at dishing out financial aid -- you might be better off in state at Rutgers. 20,000 tuiton + 7,000 room and board = cons outweigh pros.</p>

<p>Is your SAT a 1540 out of 2400, or just combined verbal and math? That would make a big difference.</p>
