Ohio State Merit Scholarships?

Hi there, junior here exploring my financial options for college. So, I've been considering Ohio State University, and I was wondering whether they offer any kind of merit scholarships that I could apply for?

Absolutely, Ohio State University provides several merit scholarship options for incoming students. The most prominent ones are the Eminence Fellows Program and Scholarship and the Ohio State National Buckeye Scholarship.

The Eminence Fellows Program and Scholarship is one of the most prestigious scholarships the university offers. This scholarship covers full cost of attendance, including tuition, room and board, books and even provides a one-time $3,000 enrichment grant accessible after the first year of successful study.

The National Buckeye Scholarship, on the other hand, is for non-Ohio residents who are top performers on their academics. This award offers annual scholarships of $13,500 or that can total nearly $54,000 over four years.

Absolutely ensure you submit your university application by their priority deadline, November1, to be considered for these programs, as completing your application early is essential to be considered for these merit scholarships. The review process is highly competitive and holistic, considering a range of factors such as leadership and involvement, community service, and academic achievements to name a few.

Also, remember to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon as possible, as this can also open up opportunities for other types of financial aid. Best of luck!
